What laptop to buy?

[drfefe2]

My sister, who is a collage student and knows absolutly nothing about computers, asked me to find one for her. Im looking for a pretty basic laptop $500-$650, or a little more if needed. i need it to by wireless compatable, and fast, (she doesnt like slow machines). I was thinking about just getting a dell, but they dont tell me their specs so i dont know what to buy to upgrade it. What should i buy?

Dell has some out right now but the processor is Intel's celeron...I am just a bigger fan of AMD.

I'm delighted with my Toshiba mx35-161

If you're into Laptops, be sure to get a processor that has the M rating,
celeron-M or centreno-M The M is for mobil or some-such and allows the
processor to reduce speed when power is low, thus improving battery life.

be sure to get 512mb ram and a 40gb hd will fit your needs nicely.

a wifi card or PCMCIA insert in a great addition.
