Yeah A laptop...There are so many of them. WHich one do you recommend?
gotta gift  her. Is kinda nerdy but deosn't like MAC and hates Dell. But let's hear your thoughts  (budget: less than a grand)

there was offer for $298<<compaq>>walmat.. i do not know about now...

thanks ice........
Any other suggestions/recommendations? Where are all the techies?

what's the laptop for? is portability is a big deal? because thinkpads are awesome! Dell Vostro is good value for the price, coupled with great service. maybe even an EEE pc. those things are tiny, cheap and made for the nerds!

I suggest you go to google and read reviews of laptops. new ones are coming out everyday, and no one can keep track of them all. good luck.

personally, I use a Mac... not cheap, but worth every penny, and some more!

toshiba R500 will be the best gift if you really want her to be happy .....

i have a dell refurbished and i am using it 24/7. No problem for 4 yeard except for Virus

And there is good blakfriday deal on dell.com

Give her a desktop bro so that she will b at home surfing the net all the time. Finally, guess what............................  U dont need to worry about her  and dont need to track her either doug.

HP t5800 would be my recommendation. Specs: Intel core 2 duo (2.0 gigs) 4 gigs worth of ram 250 gb harddrive Vista 64 bit comes with installed webcam. For the price of $650 at bestbuy. Oh and its sleek design and extremely comfortable keyboard make it definitely worth the price. *also comes with a media remote controller.

OOpps.. I meant the HP pv4 T5800 nr1125. My bad :)

Compac is the best, gift her.
