F.I.L. currently has a 15 inch Dell laptop running Vista extremely slowly.
Uses computer for email, internet, is trying Skype and photos of the grandchildren. He also watches Youtube clips and has been known to search the 'net for live football games on , ahem , live streams.
M.I.L is now expressing interest in using it and so he is wanting to take this opportunity to get a new machine whilst she is interested.
I have a Samsung 12.1" netbook which he likes, and mines runs XP.
I am very much out of touch with whats what in computers, is Windows 7 the drain that Vista was or is it more akin to XP?
What sort of spec should he be looking for to do the above functions easily? Probably looking at the budget end of the market, ballpark figure £300-£350.
At this price is he best just to go into Tesco nearer Xmas and see what machines they have bulk -bought in the millions to get a keen price?
