Hardware is "meh" - anything on the market today will do what you need.

To be honest; for a newbie Windows is absolutely

a W7 install for gaming and other bits that goes just fine

still too much for the vast majority of people.
But from the chapters perspective you have to think about vulnerability;
and
Windows is quite vulnerable. You don't want to have a laptop with
malware hanging around, and Windows attracts it too easily.
If someone uses the laptop, enters their email acc details and
subsequently gets
infiltrated that's more than embarrassing for us :)
Which is why I recommend something like Chromebook - because it's very
hard to
make it do anything else except web browsing.
