eepc question

[Jerry Feldman]

I'm just asking for a recommendation for a decent low-end laptop. I
don't think I could talk her into Linux, but I would probably recommend
a Vaio, Thinkpad, HP, or even a Dell with XP if she could get XP
commercially. Possibly a Mac, but what I have seen of the Macs, they
don't tend to be very durable. My daughter's has been in for repair
under warranty a number of times.
