Spec me a Laptop, £600 tops

Hi,

Basically my mum wants a laptop and she wants to spend no more than £600.

It doesn't have to be mega powerful as it'll only be for Internet, Emails and MS Office use but it has to be lightweight and quite thin. It also has to look great and have good battery life.

Any suggestions would be fantastic as I'm not too clued up when it comes to lappies!

Edit: Screen size needs to be around 12/13 inches.

Toshiba Equium U400-145 looks tastey, think I might go for that one.
