Got a Packard Bell netbook. Its about 18months old but only used it for about a month - editing photo's on a Netbook... fail.

Re: cheap laptop plea
If it's 'purely' for web browsing, get him a netbook. You can pick them up new from eBay for about over £120 (and obviously much cheaper secondhand).
My recommendations? Get one with XP loaded onto it (Windows7 uses too much resources for a basic netbook) and watch out for ones branded with 'WindowsCE'. (Linux based ones are also an option, but are few and far between these days) |
