recommend a laptop for my gf?

[furry_cup]

hi peeps,

My gf has just started her second year at uni in london.

Her laptop is pretty much dead now, shes lost all of her work, her music, pictures everything. it says its still on the hard disk as its still full to the same capacity, but its just not there!

anyway!

shes looking to get a new one.

will be using it for listeing to music, storing pictures from her digi cam, occasional photoshop and internet/webcam etc..

cd/dvd player/writer
usb ports
usual stuff

can anyone suggest a resonably priced laptop for her?

shes looking to spend in the reagn on 600 but cheaper the better if possible.

thanks in advance.

Acer Aspire 3102Wlmi

There arent any in the country at the moment but there will be in a week or so. My best friend bought one of the last ones.

Ive just bought a 5003Wlmi which is just as good but has no inbuilt webcam like the 3102 does.

Thats should give you a good idea, its where my mate bought his from anyway. They bumped the price up just after it went out of stock which is a bit cheeky though, plus they add loads of charges on for credit cards when you come to pay and the free delivery thing is a sham, but still it gives you an idea of the spec. Still pretty cheap.

I bought a Dell Inspiron 1300 as a cheap good laptop. Cost just over £300 from Dell using some "voucher codes" from www.moneysavingexperts.com

The tosh on the opening page is a good deal.

yeah i think i was a bit over with her budget she wants to spend, maximum £500.

do you think she could get student deals from anywhere?
