But I dont know where to start really so much out there and havent got much of a clue with all the technical jargon (wouldnt think I was only 34!)
Basically all it will be used for is word processor, i tunes, surfing on line.......... no need for huge amount hard drive space.... but would be good if it was reasonably quick.... budget around �200'ish
You're going to be lucky to find a laptop for that, you can get a low spec netbook, but that would not be suitable for iTunes and will have a tiny screen and virtually no storage.
add another 100-150 to that really for a even half way decent laptop, this is the cheapest I can see on tescos site that isn't a netbook.
