My sis has been buging me about a laptop, but im a desktop dude, I have no clue about laptops.
Can you guys help me? What she wants is a 15in screen and some thing around $600
she is looking at one from hp but it comes with vista. actually all of them do! I recomended that she gets xp as it has less problems and she will have a hard time with vista.(also it needs 1gb min of ram)
can some one help? I would build one but laptops have all of those compatibility problems and what not.

Well what does she use it mainly for, i mean anything specific?

Ok the question is what does she use it for?MSN,surfing net,work,just general user.
Ok the OS are you looking ta Vista or keep it simple XP?
The specs you should be looking for is proberly depends on funds available.How about Duo core/2 gig RAM,DVD/CD drive.
Also weight is a factor,so give us a few clues and we can see what we come up with.

Well when it comes to a gaming pc you probabaly won't have much luck for 600 usd.
