My Mum is after a laptop as her desktop is taking up too much space and she wants the mobility of a laptop. Will be used mainly for web, photos, email, etc - nothing too taxing. Needs to have built in wireless, but I guess most do nowadays.
The cheap supermarket have a new Medion out - the MD96850 for £449 - is the spec any good for that price, or will it be overspecced and can you suggest something better (and cheaper) for what she wants? Comes with a 3yr warranty which is good though.
Spec -
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core processor T2390
(1.86 GHz, 1 MB L2 Cache, 533 MHz FSB)
250GB hard disk
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
3GB RAM
15.4" TFT WXGA Widescreen Display
8× Multi-Standard DVD/CD Writer
High Speed Wireless LAN 802.11n Draft
eSATA connection
High performance 9 cell battery
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium (incl. SP1)
