Basically my girlfriend is lookin to get a laptop for as little as possible. She'll pretty much only be using it for going onto facebook (seriously!). So i was looking at something like this - http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=477421
Unless anyone has any other on advice on something else?
Cheers

What about this fella??

Try adverts.ie or if that fails try craigslist.ie - a secondhand laptop might be in her budget

How about:

This one has a 15.4" screen which she will appreciate if she doesn't need portability and just wants to enjoy surfing the web as much as possible.

Cheap as chips but you might actually get chips in the post. Or they might not actually have it in stock even though the site says they do have it. Or something might go wrong, and they won't refund you the full amount.

Exciting really. Like roulette.

I think it should be noted that, both that and the one linked in the OP's first post are netbooks. They're cheap yes, but they are very small, under powered, lack cd/dvd drives and can lack storage like the one linked above. Now depending on what the OP's girlfriend wants, they could be fine, but if its the kind of thing that's going to sit on a desk all day and not move, it might not be the best of choice, as staring at their tiny screens can get tedious.
