Default laptop recommendations?
Hey folks. I have taken up the task of finding my Mum a new laptop. Any recommendations? Preferably something that can be used for a wireless internet connection.

Budget around 600-1000 squid.

The new sony vaios are quite fabulous, absolutely loving mine range from about £800 upwards I think.

Hog, if you just want a basic laptop with wireless connectivity then you could get one from Dell for around £400 easy. Example:
