Laptop advice

[richardg200]

Having never owned a laptop, I personally prefer my desktop, I'm looking for a laptop for my eldest.
Mainly internet and schoolwork. Music and video streaming.

After a bit of buying advice really, good reliable makes.
I have been recommended this, any good ? Or any other recommendations ?
Thanks
Richard

I have the same ASUS just with Windows 7. Does the job for me.
Don't like Windows 7 so still use the old ASUS laptop with XP ...

I've had an Acer for the last 12 months and it's been fine
