If she wants to have someone close by to shout at when things go wrong 
then find a local supplier or a tesco (they are selling acer laptops for 
£468 inc VAT which look to be OK).

As she doesn't have a real idea of what she wants/needs let her get 
something general and blame someone else if it isn't right ;)
