I personally recommend fujitsus, they have never failed me
I had a samsung r18 once, its ok. but i would really recommend a tablet if its within your budget, i can get a good tablet around here in canada for around 1000$

My younger brother recently bought an Acer notebook for something like 620€. roughly about the same specs but he has a Ati HD4870 card in it (for a bit of gaming he does) so far he's pleased with it and haven't encountered any problems so far.

as for WLAN he mostly uses his notebook on his own room while the router is on my room downstairs on the other end of the house making the distance between roughly 10 - 15 meters I would say.
I could take a close look at the signal strenght this afternoon when I'm home and ask him about connection drops but so far I heard no complaining about it when he is using the internet or is playing online.

but from those specs&price I think your friend will have a good notebook for what he plans to use it for.

Thanks everybody. I just learned that the notebook I mentioned was also voted test winner and price-value-winner by a magazine over here . Think I go with it - those winner-seals look too impressive to the unknowing mind.

It also copies the single-key-design of new apple computers, which adds a design-plus.
