I need a recomendation for a laptop
My teenage daughter thinks Santa should bring her a laptop. All she needs is something that will support a decent word processing program to do some homework on. State-of-the-art is NOT needed here...I am interested in functional for the intended use but absolute least cost. Any ideas??

i have a newer macbook......and again........mac won't let you down.
I switched when...like the famous quote says....''i spent more time trying to get my computer to work right...than i actually spent working on it.''
virus and spyware free......in depth updates for software.....etc, etc, etc.
if nothing else....give the apple site a once over...you wont' be disappointed.
my two cents.

My wife and I both work from home. We buy dell laptops with the 4 or 5 year extended in home repair warranties. When theres a problem, the hardware is shipped next day, a man comes to the house and repairs it.
Only hard part sometimes is convincing a guy in Bombay named "bob" that you need a repair if the problem is intermittent like a screen that flickers sometimes only. Or sometimes they want you to ship the laptop in for repair, and I have to remind them that I have "in home" repair on my warranty.
But overall, we are happy using dell lappys and they are guarenteed to be running over the warranty period. I'm typing this on a 4 year old dell that's been used virtually every day of those four years, and has had at least 4 repairs. Very heavily used.
