theres load a sales on yal be spoilt for choice
ya say ya only use it for photos and music
but once ya get used to using them you will find yourself doing a lot more with it ie downloading films and watchin them through your tv downloading random programmes etc so go for one with a good hard drive
good ram
has hdmi maybe for hooking to telly or vga
a good graphics card for playing games

Acer are usually OK

Acer as a rule are ok but nothing outstanding, as usual with the lower end laptops the software that is preinstalled is either not to good or trial, the best way around this is to look carefully through all the software and remove any that is not required, this will speed your system up, another point with acer is that they do suffer from overheating problems if not used in the correct manor..ie:-dont sit with the laptop resting on your knee or pillow or bed, this can block the airflow through the bottom of the system and eventually cause the system to fail, all laptops are dependant on airflow to keep them cool but some are worse than others in design, i deal with laptops every day and overall good performers are dell systems, asus, and the higher end samsung, as with most things in life "buy cheap ,,,buy twice"
