The current laptop has valid office 2007 professional on, multi license (3 I think).
Can I un-install from old lappy and just bang it on the new one ? Or is the license tied to the machine ?"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

I ended up getting a Dell Inspiron 1545 from tesco, 3G Ram bluetooth, webcam etc ... Should have been £379 but I got nephew to get it for me using staff discount so all in it came to £342.
The "bonus" is that its pink !Comment

Also in pink!!!
I think it was worth going for the dual-core as she likes to edit home movies taken with her HD camcorder and then burn them to DVD. Okay, it's not a professional standard laptop, but it matches the requirement, and gets her off my desktop...Illegitimus non carborundum est!Comment

The "bonus" is that its pink !Originally posted by Flubster View PostI bought this for my 11-yo daughter for her birthday last week. Got home, realised it was single core and went back to swap it for the dual-core machine. £70 more but if I was going to spend £370, what's another £70 (equivalent to the time spent doing a couple of dumps at ClientCo).

I'd personally buy her a netbook but her words "They are way toooooo small"
I'm sure it will do the job, its only for home work, facebook, msn and music.
I didn't want to go down the pink route but I got rail roaded by the wife. I'd have gone with the lenova mentioned above.Comment
