New basic Lappy advise please

[rude-boy]

Okay so the deal is that my main desktop computer is about to go into the study in the new house and I know that I’m going to get surfing withdrawal symptoms. I don’t need anything wizzo fandango (or so my none teccy thoughts go). It will only ever be used for:-

1. Surfing places like PH, Dumpalink, Youtube etal.

2. Word, just because I like to spell check my posts from time to time or write up the odd long e-mail.

3. I will probably use it to downloading the digi camerea photies onto it from time to time.

I don’t play games or store 1,000’s of hours of vids or anything like that. I have a limited understanding of how these things work, ie enough to break it but not enough to make it work again. Wireless is essential.

How much am I looking at spending please and what specs should I be looking at.


Failing the above should I just say sod it and sort out a media centre to go with the LCD TV I have as I could have the TV and Computer running on the PiP function.

Cheers,

RB

A sub £500 laptop would do you.
