Hi. I am trying to help my grandmother find a laptop for about £500. The most important thing as far as she is concerned is build quality. The laptop likely won't be replaced for 5 years. She also wouldn't mind something that will survive away from the power source for an hour or so of light web browsing. The laptop will be used for e-mail, on-line banking, a crappy bridge program and maybe some iPlayer.
I have heard really good things about Clevo and just wanted to get some advice from you guys. I don't really know much about laptops. If I do decide to go with a Clevo, who are the best resellers?
The one that caught my eye was this one based on the Clevo w540eu and costs £530.
