Hi, I'm looking for an ok laptop for my mum. She wants it mainly for internet use, nothing too complicated. Are there any good deals about?

Both have celeron not as good as the AMD Turion 64 X2 as its faster processor and has two of them
Also Dell has 2gb ram and 160gb hard drive0 -
Are you after a used or a new laptop? That kind of money would buy either an IBM/Lenovo T42/T43 if you shop around carefully, or an X31.
They're rather good machines that "just work", are very robust and should last for years.0 -
Go for the Dell 1501, I have bought 3 in as many months, 2 with Vista, 1 with XP , XP FLIES on this as you would expect
Vista i smuch more resource hungry but pretty, for my mum? XP on the Delldonstermonster0
