 |
|
Hi all,
looking to get a sub £400 laptop for my niece. She's coming up to 11 or 12 I think. It needs have enough ram to not crawl along and the only other thing she specifically wants is built in webcam and wifi. Oh and not a netbook because they don't tend to have dvd drives.
Anyone got any suggestions of make or where to get it from?
She's not much of a gamer either (yet)

No idea personally if theyre any good or not (reviews seem to be mixed) but to be honest they seem to be amazing value for money - just need to realise that price doesnt include an operating system (which ofc could be an advantage)
If you want a branded product

Nearly got the Samsung but it had gone slightly over the price range when we went to order (430) ended up getting the ebuyer Compaq one. My niece just bought it round for me to check out. It arrived yesterday.
