A Lenovo (formerly IBM) would be good for a teenage since they are hardwearing.

Btw, was never a try.

I've used Acer a lot and would recommend them.

eBuyer have some deals on all the time.

Any idea on budget?

If your budget will stretch, Sony do a nice pink one.

Another vote for Lenovo I had one in my last permie job and my company has bought one for use now I'm contracting - good solid piece of kit

Just noticed a distinct lack of Dell references.

Time was they'd have been top of the list with the rider 'nice machine, crap service'.
Have they fallen from favour?

I've had one since 2001 (Inspiron 4000) and am still happy with its performance (albeit with OS, memory and HD upgrades).

I've never rated Dell, to be honest - had a couple of laptops and always had problems with them. I know that some people rave about them, but my personal experience was bad, so I won't mention them.

Dell Latitude D630. Buy a 3 year warranty though...

I've had multiple Dell laptops from multiple consulting jobs. They all are usually a good bog standard laptop. For my personal one I bought XPS M1710 about a year ago. Never been happier with the build quality. They've gone a long way Dell.
