Hi all
My Dad wants to buy my Mum a new laptop for Christmas and I have been tasked with finding one.
Does this look half decent? http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-6150.aspx
All it is used for is surfing, emails, storing photo's and those 'find an item' games things from big fish:o. The only thing I think is a must is a built in card reader. £300-400 price ish. They all seem to have 2GB memory, 250 HD, 15.6 screen, processors mean nothing to me
Also, it would be much easier for me and them if it comes from a big shop so returns/problems can be sorted easily eg tesco, argos, comet etc. Also a well known brand that they might have heard of would be good
Any suggestions (or if the one linked to looks ok) would be much much appreciated.
TIA xxx

That looks ok to me but £329 seems a bit much for what it is - my Dell netbook was less than that despite having some advanced specifications.
I think Dell are on Quidco as well, so it would be more :money: to look through the sites on there and see if any appeal.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

This is getting rave reviews on HDUK and cheaper via Quidco
