My girlfriend needs 'a device'

Stonker

She only ever surfs the web, plays with photos (not editing them) and plays a bit of music. She wants a device that she can just use on the Sofa. She want's a 'proper keyboard' and would like a touch screen. She prefers 13-14" screen

Other than the touch screen, I thought the due to be released HP Chromebook 14 would have been ideal for her and at £250 a reasonally cheap option.

Any recommendations?

No recs? .

10.1" screen here (too small?)

I know its a 15.6in screen - but at least you have a CD drive which you dont have on the chromebook, I've just brought this for my daughter for Xmas.

or

if you can go smaller 10in screen for a notebook

I got that for my daughter for her bday and got one myself (thou ours was in sale) its a really good little notebook,

There just 3 of the top of my head from Argos, if you want touch screen your looking at £350+..... (dont know anything re chromebook) x

Thanks for those, She does seem pretty keen on a touchscreen though. I was looking at the new HP chromebook about to be released with a Haswell processor but that's not touchscreen either.

I like the Lenovo yoga 13 but she doesn't think she needs the 4 'modes'.

Is a tablet (eg. an iPad) out of the question?

It seems like the use you've described is pretty much what they are made for.

The only "but" is the storage capacity.

Meeting your spec but you didn't say what your upper price limit was?

I agree and got her to try her dad's ipad but she wasn't too Keen. She wants a 13-14" screen and proper keyboard. I was thinking about the Sony Z tablet. I also suggested the lenovo yoga 13 (I can get one for £699) but she thought that was too much money for what she needs.

That one may be an option.
