Cheapest Laptop for Sister

[Andeh13]

Hi guys,

I am after the cheapest possible 15" laptop for my sister as her has just packed up. It will be used for Microsoft office, internet/facebook, films and that's it.

New/second hand doesn't matter, and she isn't fussed about spec. Can anyone recommend anything or around £150-£180 that isnt a bag of lemons?

Cheers guys

2nd hand would probably be best

Main worry will be battery life and how long it's going to last, also does lac a built in webcam but it's got all the power you'd need for that.
That's basically the same rough spec as my toshiba (the one I modded) which is fine for internet use heck I can play a few games on it eg dawn of war soulstorm, minecraft on lower settings, binding of issac, dungeons of dredmor

Bigpockets always seem to have alot of used cheap laptops.

Agreed. If she's not worried about battery life, look at BigPockets for a refurb Thinkpad.

I think Gerrard might have been my source on that one, if not then apologies to whoever it was - excellent tip.
