Views on this laptop

I am looking to purchase a laptop for 13 year old daughter and I am looking to spend no more than about £350. The laptop will be used mainly for school work and surfing. I have now read loads of different views from different forum and my head now hurts with what to go for. These are the ones I have seen and need advice before I hit the purchase button.

There is a £40 off voucher when you sign up with them.

Or any other suggestions, as I said I am looking at a budget of £350 max and looking at the best value within this price range taking into consideration the specification of each. Please help before my head explodes.

    Every single one of those is fine. They've all got the minimums and processor speed isn't important on a laptop. The only "must" for any computer running Vista is 1GB RAM which they all have.

    Personally, I'd go for the cheapest. It really doesn't make a difference.
