[ubuntu-uk] choice of laptop

[norman]

In the fairly near future I expect to have a hip replacement which will
mean that I will not be able to sit at my desktop computer for several
weeks. So, I am thinking of getting a laptop computer that I can use
anywhere around the house until I am allowed to sit on the chair I
normally use.

 My main requirements will be access to the internet, email and news and
some photographic work and, of course, a means of contacting my wireless
router. I am wondering whether the Inspiron 1525 would be a suitable
machine to get and would welcome helpful comment, please.
