Hi all,

Its my sisters birthday soon and she is going to get a new Laptop for her birthday.

Can you suggest some nice accessories that I may be able to get her. She is going to be off to University soon.

So far I have a Webcam at the top of my list! Anyone know of a decent laptop webcam

Also any other ideas?

Cheers
 
Mouse (trackpad are horrible/slow to use)
External HD (2.5" or 3.5")
Laptop bag
Laptop wipes
Kensington lock (recommended if leaving in dorms)
 
Logitech webcams are usually pretty solid and should work well with MSN (assuming that that's what she uses - most people do).

As said above, a USB flash drive is always useful - you can get pink ones from some places, girls seems to like that sort of thing!

A decent carry case or bag for the notebook itself might be good too, if she's carting it to and from Uni. Crumpler do some nice ones, some more expensive than others.

& you can get it cheap ;)

Got the desktop version for my PC after neighbours next door (also students) got burgled while away!

Think I'll go for a TV Tuner, Kensington Lock & USB Mem Stick

I have the lock I want (Thanks for link above) also I know where to get cheap USB mem stick.

However anyone know if this TV Tuner is ok?

Freecom DVB-T USB Stick Its about £20
 
About the freecom DVB - I havent heard to many good things about them to be honest.

We sell those at work and have had them come back quite a lot, if you can go for a hauppage. More cash i know but they are a lot better apparently.
Just want to warn you hehe :)

dont forget she'll need a tv license with a tv tuner :P
Mate, just buy her a frying pan and some bacon, or some pot noodles and a kettle, she'll only sell the laptop for beer or lose it in a game of poker, along with her clothes
