Great computer but you can get a lesser window PC for less money.

That is definitely a fact. She didn't mention a budget though ;).

Just like getting a Volvo instead of a BMW;)

Lenova Thinkpad, T series. Robust, reliable. We have thousands at work, currently T42, T43, and T60. I bought a T60 for my daughter last weekend for university.

If you don't want to spend that much, go as cheap as you can and consider it disposable.

:iagree:
Also, you said that he needs it for just checking e-mail and going on the internet - not much point paying more for options and upgrades that he will never need.

Lenovo is the best laptop for business, but $$$. I had a X60T and sold it to get the newer X61T (Santa Rosa chipset).

If he is just a light user, get a Compaq! Should last a long time and a great value. Also the lighter the better.

I do think the Apple has a pretty unit, but a learning curve for that old man over 40. Ha! I am 45...
