Which Laptop?

[Alicat58]

My 82 year old mum has an ancient Dell laptop which has finally given up the ghost. It is her birthday next week and are looking for a no frills laptop to replace her old one.
She only uses it for online shopping, emails, Skype and watching webcams to watch ospreys during their breeding season. Can anyone advise a replacement costing up to £250? Thanks in advance.

lots to choose from..a simple wee notebook would be enough probably..ASUS gets a good review usually

Thanks murraymints but my mum needs a full size laptop as her sight is not great and she would also find the keyboard on a notebook too small.

how big a screen does she need and what operating system is she used to ?

Tesco have some pretty good end of run deals that might be worth looking at.

Argos ebay outlet. You can get a decent one for £200. Full size keyboard and 15.6'' screen. Full factory reset. Install Classic Shell if she is used to Windows 7 or XP and you are good to go. A couple of examples below. If not on ebay...try Argos shop or Tesco. Don't let sales people sell you something more expensive.

Thank you TTG. I live fairly close to Argos so can order one and get it in time for mum's birthday next week. :D
