(Long preamble, sorry)
We bought DD2 a Dell laptop early on in her first year at uni - it seems to be a requirement now, pity they don't seem to feel that in that case the uni should either provide them or supply suitable subsidised ones for purchase - anyway the Dell one was OK, it cost about £350 and had wireless internet capability so she's been able to use it in her student house this second year.
However - it's been nicked . She hadn't got around to organising student insurance yet (those are my genes ) and it's not worth claiming on ours.
The Dell one wasn't that good however - she has been using an ancient HP one DH had from work, he warned her that it was terribly slow and she said it was no slower than the Dell! But it doesn't have wireless.
Please can someone suggest a good wireless-capable laptop for around £300-350? DH has an aversion to IBM but I'd like to know if he's right or not.
TIA
