    Hey Lads!


    My girlfriend is looking for a laptop for max of 400 euros. It's gonna be used for basic word processing, web surfing and a bit of editing in Adobe Photoshop.
    She's not keen of getting one of those Netbooks because they are bit too small for her. Dual Core CPU would be an advantage.


    Thanks!

    Keep and eye on the Dell outlet and wait for a discount money offer and you'll get one at that price. otherwise just shop around. Some of the stores have decent offers.

    Got a couple of laptops for co-workers lately for that sort of money from

    I think they were both Toshiba's

    How about this

    I ordered one of these last week but am still awaiting delivery.I think its the best you could possibly get for the price.Its got a Pentium Dual-Core CPU and 2 gigs of RAM.Vista HP and all.The only slight downside to all this, as far as i can see, is the Hard Drive which, at 80gb is pretty small.Delivery is about 18e bringing it in at just under 400e:)
