ideas please?
You'd struggle to find anything that doesn't meet those exacting criteria.
so pretty much anything? dont use it for anything else. just internet and flickr really.
got a big telly with a browser for films and such.
Sounds like a chromebook would be ideal.
Acer chromebook 14 (largeish screen) or Asus Chromebook Flip (11 inch touch screen) look about the best and only 200 notes.
Instead of a Chromebook, why not any old laptop and [url= https://cublinux.com ]this[/url], been using a fortnight and it's stable and fast
Definitely a chromebook for the simplicity
Ton,
I got my mum one of these at Christmas and have been pleasantly surprised by how good it is for the money. Whilst PC world may not be the cheapest if anything goes wrong she can take it back without too much bother.

Chromebook all the way.
Typing this on an Acer Chromebook 15. £229 with a 15.6" screen. Still wakes up and shuts down as fast as it did when new a year ago. Battery lasts ages and all my stuff is in the cloud with Google drive. SD card slot/usb ports on the side if you want to keep stuff locally. 128gb SD cards are only about £20 now for a decent one.
My chromebook is 5 years old exactly. Still has an 8 hour battery life. I suspect a new one would be a bit more zippy with a better processor, but yeah, it's still great.
Because that's a load of dicking about that he won't want to be bothered with? 😀Instead of a Chromebook, why not any old laptop and this, been using a fortnight and it's stable and fast
thing i am using now is a acer chromebook. dont like it. screen is too small. loading photos directly onto it is a pita.
had to buy a android phone to load pics to flickr.
Thinkpad n565 is available for £240 approx.
Bonus of having a fingerprint scanner...so less faffing when shopping online.
But AMD processor is an unknown (to me)
ANY HP laptop at the right price
Hp make great laptops
But in my experience if there's even so much as the merest, slightest little fragment of dust in the battery compartment then it will go into passive aggressive mode and refuse to perform any tasks until you take the battery out and blow off any fluff.
There's not even any "cannot verify battery"
Just silence, while you try to work out what kind of faux pas you may have made.
I'm on a £280 laptop from PC World.
No complaints.
We have 3 of these in our household...........

Absolutely fine for browsing etc Ton.
I see there's a chrome book love in. My mac won't connect to 7 out of 9 apple devices . Rather than spend a lot of money getting someone in to fix it I'm thinking get a cheap computer.
Would one be suitable for doing itunes? I've got 50 gb of music on my ipod. Does a chrome book have a hole you can plug a printer into?
Make sure you get a solid state hard drive.....waaaay faster apparently, according to my computer guys.
£60 multifunction Canon printers are wireless for printing and scanning so no real need to plug a printer in now.
Ton, when you say loading pics onto your chromebook is a PITA what is it/isn't it doing.
I've just checked and uploading images to Flickr works fine on mine.
