I like the Thinkpad R50 series. They are stable and don't run too hot.

You should be able to get one of the entry level Sony's. They have some of the best screens out there!

We sell them at work, and my work laptop is an Acer. They are not bad machines, if you are looking for a basic laptop. I would say an Apple iBook, you can get them for under $1,000, and will be 10x the computer that any PC in that price category would ever be. |

Pc Cillin, Norton, McAfee =  EZ antivirus is pretty good, as is Panda Antivirus. We use EZ on all the machines we build at work. I use SonicWall antivirus myself, its the best antivirus utility I have used yet. |

iBook, especially refurbished, but pretty much only if you have a PC desktop already. You'd be surprised with how many programs are avaialble for the Mac platform now, especially with its unix basis.

Its amazing how many people still give reccomendations on laptop brands after the thread starter updated the thread with which laptop he got.

Dell is usually pretty good I think you'll be happy with it. I've gotten assigned my fair share of old Dell laptops for different jobs and they keep ticking.

I just bought my mother a Dell 1300 for a tad over $600. 512 MB memory, 15.4" screen, wireless. So far, I'm pretty impressed with what you can get for the money.
I bought my daughter a Dell 6000 which is prettier but I don't know that it's much better. Reports that I have seen are still giving Dell high marks. One surprise in either PC Magazine or Windows magazine was that e-machine notebooks and desktops got top marks for reliability and service. But they are just not available in this area. |
