come to the conclusion that my 4 yr old dell, with a buggered battery, and whch refuses to connect to the internet, has to go.
as a graduation present from the grandparents i got £300, and i reckon a laptop would be something nice to get.
i need it for;
internet (stw, porn, shopping etc)
word processing (CVs, job applications)
store photos (but not manipulate)
play music (in a basic form)
i know i can't afford a mac. i want windows 7 (def not vista, XP is too old now anyway).
i want it to work reliably for a few years, i would love for it to have a good battery (the dell one lasted about a year before it was shite). not fussed about graphics (i don't think), the most complicated game i would play is solitare.
should i get new? or reconditioned (like what pc world sell (yes, i realise i probably shouldn't buy from there))

btw, i'm a computer idiot, and don't really know what most things mean.
