reccomend a laptop...

builder22 · 6 Apr 2009 at 21:05

it's for my dad, he wants to use it for basic stuff, internet, emails, printing invoices
how much for something that is reasonable fast + reliable
needs to be easy to use (if there is such a thing)
budget isnt really an issue but I told him about £400, want to get the best for the money though, without having things that he will never use
any suggestions ?

edit - just thought of something else, the screen to be as big as possible

never even thought about amd processors, are they better value than intel in laptops then ?

I'm thinking about just getting one of the samsung ones off here for him
I am pretty clued up about pc'd but never looked in to laptops...I've never used Vista, which all the new laptops come with, as opposed to XP, am I right in thinking 2GB RAM is a minimum for vista?
its just ive seen quite a few being sold with 1GB and the vista os.
