    Have you thought about Notebooks? They are small versions of laptops, are cheaper and of course as they are smaller, they are much more portable so you can take them anywhere easily. You might think they are not so good as they are smaller than laptops, but I can easily surf the internet, browse and post on forums such as this on my iphone, so note books being much bigger than the phone will be easy to use.

    Seen some on ebay UK less than £100 from sellers in Hong Kong as well, so from there would be easy to send to Phils.

    I got a half decent branded netbook in makati computer alley for about 18000 peso with built in cam, to give you an idea about prices. £200 being 15,000 or maybe 14,000 after transfer fees just a bit short for a half decent one.

    Don't forget that it will mean that it will cost her about P1000 a month for wifi access if she wants to be able to use the laptop online, whereas web cafes only cost P20 an hour.

    we speak every night for at least 3 hours so guess that would work out at more than 1000 per month anyway...thanks for the advice though
