Couple of relatives are after laptops and I'm not sure if I should wait till Win 7 is out or if I should just buy now.

Price - around £300
Spec - definitely don't want single core processor, not after netbook,
Use - surfing, office etc. Nothing too taxing

Have seen pentium dual core laptops with 2GB RAM, 160GB HD and 15.4" screens for just over £300. Only issue is Vista - don't like it plus these people haven't used computers much (well one hasn't used them at all )

Q - does anyone think it will be possible to get hold of pentium dual core laptops with Win 7 for around £300 or will prices hike?

Should I just bite the bullet and buy now?

Thank you in advance.
