The "I have to pick out a laptop for my mom" thread..

[nightelph]

Title says it all. Basically I'm defaulting to a Dell. 1.46ghz Core duo, 2gb ram, dvd burner. Those are the only specs I want it to have. Does anyone want to steer me away from Dell?

[ps2cho]

Well the question is this:

If she has money concerns, go for the dell.
If she wants a better build quality, then go for something like a Thinkpad. It is alot tougher, but is more pricey.

Dell's a great choice either way though.

well in my Local BB ad there was a HP or gateway lappy with dual core for $399 with 1gig ram,80gig or 100gig HD with DVD-RW. 15.4in wide screen.

Alright, I'll put together a couple builds from Dell and IBM's website for pricing, and troll the local BB. Thanks.
