£200 - £300 laptop

Hi,

A friends mum is after a laptop, nothing special, all she really does is browse, book holidays etc on it. Will rarely get used hence the price. Think a tablet is not really suitable due to her just wanting to plug a cheap printer in now and then.

Needs to have a decent size screen so rules out a netbook etc As for OS, personally i'd prefer windows 7 purely as i havent used 8 since the dev copy. But i guess you can always go back to a normal desktop view on it. a dvdrw not essential but would be ideal.

Was looking at something like Asus X55C Laptop

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply.

I did look at a the acer. Slightly over budget which i am trying my best to keep to. the Asus can be had for £299 from another well known etailer at the moment.
