Lovely colleague Tracie needs to get herself all wired up for work based purposes.

She's looking for a laptop which she can use for:
- Occasional internet access
- Downloading and editing films from a camcorder
- Music download

She's got up to £350 to spend, but would prefer something fairly cheap and says "a nice colour and design would be good" because she's a bit arty like that. :)

She's also looking for a cheap internet connection for very occasional use and is considering BT Broadband Option 1. Can someone talk sense into her?

(Oh, and she's also asked if there are any nice guys who wouldn't mind taking her out at the weekends too. Anyone like tall blondes?)

She's going to kill me for that. :D

From my experience of editing video, that laptop looks about right - she'll be lucky to get a decent working spec laptop for £350 - a desktop would be better suited to video editing, as you can sling in better video cards and extra ram more easily, but I'm guessing that's no good?

Even so, most video cameras these days are at hi-def which is about 2gb for 30 mins, which can put quite a strain on a processor...
