Toshiba, so should be alright logevity wise , quite thin and light. Only thing is that the keyboard is not a laptop one but has a keypad and the mouse pad is apple style no buttons but clicky pad. At £280 not a bad cheapy.
EDIT - Wish I hadn't posted that but can't delete the post.

Got any idea of a budget? Personal computers have been more than powerful enough for the sort of thing you describe for some time.
So long as you have at least an Intel Core i3 (or i5), 8GB of RAM and an SSD, the rest usually comes down to ergonomics (screen, keyboard, heat output, noise) and battery life.

I'm thinking about getting my mother a new laptop for Christmas - it'll be used for web-surfing and running Family Historian 6.
I can't find any system requirements on the website for that, so I'm guessing that they are not huge.
What's the best laptop out there at the moment that has as its key attributes affordability, lightness and longevity?
