Hi everyone,
I build my own systems but need opinions for a laptop for my sister who lives in another state. She's ready to upgrade and plans on buying a new laptop.
Her current PC is 11 years old. What I want her to get is something top of the line because she won't be upgrading again for another 10/11 years.
She's not a gamer, just needs MS Office and email. But i want her to have lots of speed cause she only has DSL and not cable like i have.
And also because she won't be upgrading again anytime soon.
Any and all recommendations would be appreciated.
thanks
danny

Is portability a factor? Would be require/want a Blu-ray player as well?

Portability: The Portege R705-P35: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspag [...] ies&ks=960 $749.99. Very lightweight, I think only .5 pounds or so more than the Macbook air's weight.
Office 2010 Home and Student with Best Buy for $99.99 with purchase of a computer.

If your a student though: http://www.microsoft.com/student/o [...] fault.aspx $79.95.

You have a budget? A preferred website?
