My friend who was always an office cleaner and care worker has left work for some years now and is interested in buying a laptop. I myself use a computer so dont the foggiest thing about a laptop.
Sony's are hugely overpriced (you're paying for the name) and not that good quality.
Stick to the well known brands, HP, Dell, Toshiba and you'll not go far wrong. make sure it's got at least 2GB of ram and any modern laptop will be plenty good enough for a new computer user.
she is only a learner and only will be using to surf the net so I think a wee basic one will do altho having 2GB Ram is a good idea in any laptop. Thanks everybody
