Hiya, We got ours from Currys. The netbooks are basically a mini laptop, and if she gets a version with windows software i can't see there being a big problem, however its all down to personal taste.Also it depends what DD will want to use it for, my son takes ours to clollege when he has lots of notes to do. I'm not sure if you know but there are laptops around for about the £299 mark in Comet's, Currys, PC World etc. HTH
