I am looking for a new laptop for my brother for around €450 or £355. I just want to have some ideas. Laptop will be used for Facebook, MSN and basic gaming. Please no asian brand.
Get a netbook. They're pretty decent and good performance for low price. You can't really play any new fancy games under 600
Bought my parents a Lenovo Thinkpad. Solid, sturdy and not too expensive (got it for €400 in a deal) Think it's the 15" edge model with an i3 in it.
