Hi, she wants to run ms office, play music, browse the web etc. Must have a VGA port. Need on quick so was thinking Amazon etc. Anyone bought one recently? Thanks
Damn, I thought you were offering a trade.
You'd be hard pressed to find any laptop that doesn't meet those criteria. Got anything more to go on? Size? Budget?
Reliable, cheap, moderately quick. Got the last one from PC world. Would not do that again.

Pics ? - I have a Dell Inspiron in exchange.
Somewhere like ebuyer is a much better bet than PC world.
But really you first need to decide between laptop or desktop, you'll get a better machine for your money with a desktop, and they are easy to replace parts if something fails, and obviously with a laptop you have the portability which a desktop doesn't offer.
Not sure they are available now, but there were good deals on HP G4 250s with 128GB SSD in the summer for ~£300. What the drive lacks in storage space was more than made up for in speed, for such a cheap laptop.
VGA port? gumtree is your best bet
Most (all?) laptops have some sort of video out, and adapters can be had.
