After a Laptop for my 15yr old Daughter.

POSTED BY: aphex187 2 weeks, 2 days ago

Thought this would be easy but tbh it's been a bloody nightmare, trying my best to get something good and that looks really flash for her to open on xmas day.

Now i want to spend about £400-500, she'll be mostly using it for surfing the net ie Facebook/Myspace/MSN but also for homework and then for College/Uni.

I was trying to find a touch screen lappy but couldn't seem to find one, any ideas guys? any good offers?

Btw i'm after an Intel Core Duo, windows 7 and no onboard GPU.

thx for any help!

Have a look on the Dell site. You should find something suitable there.

And, Dell do most of their laptops in a range of "attractive colours" which should appeal to a 15 year old girl. (Well, my 14 year old daughter wants a pink one )

Clever girl

Also you can get those coloured sleeves that additionally protect the lappy and can be changed over from time to time

If she has the same lappy in 3 yrs time you'll be darn lucky

If she's 15 she'll be needing a new one by the time she's at Uni

Perhaps just spend £300 and bank the rest towards a new one in three years?
