Laptop wanted
I am not a computer buff hence some help required.
My son has been using a borrowed PC mostly for an extensive music collection and to run music programme such as Cubase. So it needs to have a reasonable spec. He also uses the Internet and plugs the PC into our old stereo system to play tracks. Now and again he uses Windows XP
But, of course, being a musician he is fairly broke but the good news is that laptops seem pretty cheap these days and even a cheap one probably has a better spec than the 2 year-old one he has to return.
So where do I go and what do model do you suggest? I could be interested if anyone has one for sale.
Thanks, David

Thanks a lot chaps. This is the spec of the one he is using at the moment so would need something equal or slightly better. But I don't know enough to make a comparison.

Budget is embarrassing; say on the £300 side of £3 - £400? But I want to avoid the need to get a whole pile of extra software e.g. XP isn't cheap.
