Dirt cheap internet machine/tablet

[Carl the Llama]

Ok, my Mums PC broke and she cant live without facebook (-.-), so she asked me if I knew where she could get something dirt cheap to use facebook on that doesn't take an ice age to load (her backup machine takes 10 minutes to even OPEN firefox) her birthday is coming up in 2 months time and we all plan to buy her a semi decent laptop when the time is right, but until then she is desperate for something dirt cheap which doesn't take 10 minutes to load a new page for the time between now and when her birthday comes to pass.

Here is a Chipmunk as thanks:

Kindle? You can get them for a couple hundred bucks or so less. Facebook works on it.

Go to best buy and try out some of their "bargain" machines. They generally have 4gb ram and 1.5 GHz processor. More than enough to browse Facebook.

Sounds like a Chromebook might be right for her.

We've settled on a kindle fire, found one in my town for £70, thanks for all the replies ^^
