Cheap and cheerful laptop wanted

    Looking for a cheap and cheerful laptop for my mother. She wants one to check the internet the odd time and keep in contact with friends and family on skype. It needs to be windows based because thats what she knows how to use. Screen size needs to be fairly big too. i.e 13 - 15" screen. Oh it also needs a webcam.

    Budget: Around €4-500

    Intended use: Only wanted for browsing the internet and using for skype calls.

    Mobility: Not needed for taking anywhere so it will just be used in the house.


    I was looking at a Samsung R60plus for €420 but I cant find out much info on it.

    Thanks

    No opinions from anyone?
    The samsung I was looking at is now gone from komplett so ill have to look for something else now.
    All its needed for is outlined above. hard drive processor ram etc dont need to be high spec so that will keep the cost down hopefully.

    Really nice laptop, looks great in person - for that price/brand, the spec's are actually fairly top notch - 2Ghz Dual Core, 2Gb Ram, X1250 Video....

    That one on misco must be a slightly different model to the one I was looking at. Its about a 100 quid dearer when you add the vat.
    This one seems to fit the bill though from pixmania

    That one will also be fine, but make sure to pick up another gig of ram - 1gb is cutting it pretty finely for Vista.
