Budget laptop advice needed
 

My sister needs a laptop but only has a tiny budget - £300ish.

All she uses it for is Facebook and general internet browsing, sending hotmail etc.

She also saves some photos to it before backing up to CDs.

My nephews like to play games on it but at 9 and 3 we're talking CBeebies website.

The older nephew will also increasingly use it for homework research and typing up simple Word documents.

Is something like this worth considering?

Any other recommendations?

For what's wanted of it, I'd probably go for something like this refurbished one from Argos (eBay) and throw a bit more RAM in it (which'll still keep under budget).

Ebuyer £279 discout on this if bought through Quidco or Topcashback I'd guess

But is it James proof?

Silly question. Nothing is James proof.

Tesco do the dell N5040 (orN4050) 500gb harddrive, 4gb ram i3 processor.. Cost =£297 or £287 in store.

Bargain if you ask me!

Sure is, our old but still working lappy only has 60 gig ;)

You can also try the Dell Outlet Store. Refurbished or surplus/returned items go for a healthy discount. Lots of simple spec Inspiron models on there today that should fit the bill and the budget.

Thanks for the tips. Still looking. Too many options I think my brain has melted. Also how much should she budget for Microsoft office? Nephew says he'd find Word and Powerpoint useful for homework. In my day I was still using a fountain pen!
