First: thanks for the quick responses.

I'm begining to think that a netbook would be better than a full blown laptop (intended usage == intended usage of netbook). I've been reading the threads on this list about netbooks; I'm uncertain as to whether it really matters which one, when it's for someone who just wants to use it for very basic tasks (E-mail, web browsing, word processing, etc.). Can anyone help me there, or are the only CLUG people who've bought one the ones who know too much? ;)

Being a hard-core computer geek becomes a problem when you need to think like a typical end-user. :)

 Could anyone here recommend a place in (or around) Christchurch that sells
laptops WITHOUT Windows (it doesn't matter if it comes with Linux or not).
I'm asking on behalf of someone who doesn't know what to look for when
shopping for a computer (I'm helping with that), and doesn't want to pay
for software that will never be used (i.e. Windows).
