...this. She works with my wife and was actually "debating" on whether 
to get a TP or a Dell. I spoke to her with the kind of patient 
understanding such individuals require.


Here are her specs:


I’m pretty simple when it comes to what I need. I use the computer 
mostly for writing and the internet mostly for research and surfing. I 
don’t do a lot with music or graphics or editing – but I do have a fair 
amount of photos that I store and send out. weight isn’t a big issue. 
This is to replace my desktop – but I don’t travel much with it, except 
from office to kitchen to bedroom. So – medium weight is fine.

Um… what else? A 15” screen is fine – I don’t wanna get too big. If I 
can get a cool upgraded screen for not a huge amount, that would be 
good. Since I spend so much time staring at the screen, that might be a 
good thing.

I’d like both a cd and dvd burner. $1000 is my real max – I’d love to 
stay lower if I can get everything I need. And – other than that – just 
enough stuff on it so it won’t be outdated in two weeks! (I know six 
months is too much to ask – but two weeks would be good!)



Bruce, others--anything? Thanks.
