in Techie Stuff
Hi
I need some advice please, I'm going to buy my daughter [13] a touchpad or netbook or laptop for her birthday, I have an absolute max of £220 to spend but I've no idea if what I'm looking at is any good
Asus EEE from Argos
Cambridge Sciences Starpad from Amazon
She'll use it for a bit of gaming [think Temple Run stuff] and researching for homework and general surfing
Are either of the above any good or should I be looking at something else
Thanks in anticipation and please be gentle as I am not very techie at all
