If it's just for around the house use, go for a dell - it's a good value for the $$ - not the bottom doller one, get the middle of the road notebook.  If she needs something a little better look into a Toshiba for around $1,000.

Right now there is a great deal on a laptop that is good for basic home use. It is an HP and you can get it for $299.99 after a hundred dollar mail in rebate. There are some restrictions but I will definitely be getting one... It is such a steal! Check out all the details at the links below...\n\nhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/circu...\nhttp://techdirt.com/articles/20061115/16...\nhttp://news.com.com/notebooks+dropping+t...\nhttp://bfads.net/pop/3772\n\nOh ya you can actually get the notebook for $99.99 but you have to jump through a lot of hoops and it will probably will end up costing you more in the end...\n\nGood Luck!

Dell's are a great value, they are rather pricier than the competition. HP is a good performer, it is quite solid, the lid hinge is a prblem because after 20 rotations, the screen becomes all wobbly. E machines, are complete bargain notebooks, the new N10 bundle avalible at Wal-Mart is a solid performer. It is a quite basic notebook, but i have one and it runs well, although the proprietary sempron processor is kind of lousy, i would replace it with a Core Xeon which is Intel. Emachines didn't really do well prior to the n10 especially the M2105 which my brother has, the battery runs down and wears out quickly, hinge is too. wobbly. You are better of with a Dell if you have enough money, they start at around $543, the toshibas start at $739 and the e machines n10 is the only E machines notebook available and it is a great value, consisting of LoJack Laptop Trace, a flash drive, a Targus notebook backpack for only $548.95 at Wal-Mart. It is nice

Dell.com without a doubt. I've heard experts from Geek Squad say this every time they do an interview on the radio, plus I have one myself, and many of my friends do too. If you call you can specify what you need and don't need so you don't pay for anything you already have, such as a good mouse or keyboard, or even monitor if you have a new one. A lot of times they run free shipping which will save you  almost $100. I would check the website daily for a week or so to get an idea what a good price is as they change often, but with research you can get a great computer at a great price.

Dell... It's the best quality

You should be able to get good deasl on pricegrabbger.com (It gets the best prices from all online stores). \n\nAnyways, I think more than deals, try looking for quality.  My personal experience says that Lenovo (IBM Thinkpads) last the longest and are the sturdiest.  They also come with a finger print secure login in most laptops.  It's worth spending an extra couple of hundred bucks -- Lasts at least 4-5 years. \n\nDell's are inferior quality, but cheap. \nToshiba's are a good compromise \nSony's suck. \nHP is getting better, but, doesn't compare with Thinkpads.

" What is the best brand for computers? HP? VAIO? ALIENWARE? DELL? "\n\nThe Best you can get is an Alienware PC. They are the most powerfull (4 GB RAM, Duel Core Prossesors, Duel 7800 GTX Videocards, Terrabyte Storage), and most reliable, but they are also the most expensive (5,000)\n\nIf You are on a budget Then I reccomend an eMachines.\nThey are really cheap but they are well build and have good hardware. Same with Gateway, you can buy a really nice gateway Pentium D, 300GB, 2GB DDR2 RAM, all that for around 800-900 Dollars.\n\nIf you want something that is really reliable and well known with the best free technical support you could go with  HP. The HP website offers free technical support where you can actually chat with a real technichian, most website offer self help. HP has very good computer at the average price range.\n\nVAIO computers are good, but expensive (VAIO = SONY)\nYou are basicly paying for the name just like Alienware. They have really strong PC's, if you want a  really strong PC, then  this would be Right Next to Alienware.\n\nMe, I Custom Build my PC's. You can get the parts cheap from eBay, or NewEgg. You have control of what your PC will be like. For this you buy a case, a motherboard, RAM, harddrive, CD ROM, and more additional stuff, This will cost you much less than buying a new computer. You can can custom build a computer with the same exact things as what you could find in an alienware for alot cheaper.\n\nHope you found this helpfull

Best value, 100% of the time on notebooks, is Toshiba.  I've recommended them to a few people, and every one of them that bought one has been completely satisfied with it.  By the way, people usually don't sell a laptop (they're so expensive in the first place) until there's something wrong with it.  I would either buy a new, but not top of the line model, or used if I can test it out first.

Look at the other options besides Dell. Compaq, HP and Sony all have superior laptops and great service. You are more likely to find what you want by looking at the better brands on the market.

I see you have a lot of opinions out here.  I recommend that you do look at the Notebookreview.com website that another user recommended but also check out www.notebookforums.com where people discuss real issues and how to fix problems versus marketing hype.\n\nThe short of it all is All laptops are pretty much the same.  They get the job done.  My only recommendations is \n\nDO NOT BUY a CONSUMER machine.\n\nYou will notice that most of the major manufacturers have a Corporate version and a Consumer version.  The Corporate version tends to be more rugged.  I have a lot to laptops.  Although I have Macs and PCs I do not have a MAC laptop.\n\nI would stay away from the Sony because Sony is more trendy than sturdy.  The best (most solid work horse) are my Think Pads.  I don't know about Lenovo's version but they are probably pretty good. My Dells, are good but they are Corporate, not consumer, and my Gateways are excellent performers.  Toshiba used to be good but you could not give me one today.\n\nNow, HP.....Well, HP did not make good laptops until they bought Compaq and even then the Presarios were crap but the Armada were dang good. \n\nWhichever one you decide on, Go into a local store - CompUSA, MicroCenter, Costco, Sams, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and touch and feel all of the machines that your are considering.  Look for good solid construction and a good screen.   Then write down your choices.  Check Notebookforums for real problems, and then look for discounts!!!!\n\nMC.
