| 741652 | 2009-01-24 05:56:00 | Hi - I need to buy a lap top for my better half - at the moment she insists on trying to use my laptop, or my bit torrent down load PC or my gaming PC - she can't seem to understand "Yes, I do need all 3 at once!!"!! All she needs is something that has or can run 1) Use for browsing and email 2) freecell 3) bluetooth / wireless 4) use a bit of Word 5) watch the occasional avi file 6) use itunes If she needs to do anything grunty, I will do it for her We are in Wellington but two questions what model / specs would you recommend and from where? Cheers |

| 741655 | 2009-01-24 07:26:00 | What about something like an Asus EEE (www.playtech.co.nz) if it only going to be doing Office and Email/Browsing | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 741656 | 2009-01-24 07:34:00 | I just bought that laptop but with the 160gb hdd, and I absolutely adore it, and this is coming from quite a powerful sony vaio laptop, the battery life is phenomenal and in spite of the specs it is a very quick little laptop. | lagbort (5041) | ||

| 741660 | 2009-01-24 12:27:00 | DSE has these full size Toshibas (www.dse.co.nz) for less than a EEE. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 741661 | 2009-01-24 18:42:00 | ASUS or Toshiba. And I'd be agreeing with her. 3 computers to yourself is just selfish. |
