Hi all,
My dad needs a small notebook for work, he already has a laptop at home but wants something small and light for on the road, he uses it for email's, some small web browsing and opening attachments etc. He did try a smart phone but he doesnt get on with them at all.
He has a budget of £200 but ideally he wants to spend around and to get something to protect it (small cover/case).
I know its the lower end of the market but he could upgrade RAM if he wants, whats the processor like?
