We need a 12/14inch screen (older people sometimes have eyesight problems) they must be laptops ,they need wireless connection,and must run windows vista it wont matter about disc space or large amounts of memory as we dont intend to use themas storage devices.Then I'll tell you we only have £800,quite a challenge I have seen one at Tesco Emachine £279,does anyone have one or know about them.

Also, if possible, machines with as long a warranty period as possible would be a good idea as laptops can be expensive to repair. Most only offer 1 year and you have to pay for subsequent warranty.
Am awaiting delivery on an MSI laptop which I ordered on the Internet on Monday - these do come with a 2 year warranty and having had one before, they seem to be OK. Can let you know the website if required.
Also, what about refurbished laptops? I understand that Dell have a section for these types of machines, as do many other companies.
BTW could you say where you applied for funding for this enterprise? My friend who is having the new laptop attends classes and they have had their funding cut and are having to study something else. Seems that older people are no longer priority, and have had to give way to computer education for younger folk.
It's a big responsibility so good luck.

If this is of any use to you as you are a local boy I would be tempted to phone ASDA head office to see if they will do something for you. Their CEO is Andy Bond and he may want to help a local cause. here's the link to the laptop:
