What I don't know about is all the stuff about RAM, Ghz, processors, Mhz etc etc. Haven't got a clue 
What are the bog standard things that I should be looking at? |
Dell is a good choice.
Go on to
their web site, have a look around... Make sure and check out the "Dell Outlet" area for some good bargains.
Don't worry too much about the processor or GHz, though "Intel Centrino" is a good thing to look for. Watch out for the weight and battery life. Avoid things that say "desktop replacement". You'll want wireless networking (maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but some day...) Don't get any less memory than 256MB – consider even 512MB.
Then go for the one you like the look of.
