Many people spend far more than they need to for a laptops.  A college student or in this case a law student only needs to type on the keyboard, retrieve e-mail and do online research.  As you pointed out a wifi card is a must and can be added to an older laptop for $30.  Rather than spending $600 plus there is no reason why she could not spend $300 to $400.  Type "used laptops" or "refurbished laptop" into google and check out the first 2-3 companies that come up.

Depends on your needs, actually. My vote goes for IBM T43 (I trust the brand, it's light, and I've used a T42 for a while) or a Dell Latitude D810 (better graphics card, slightly cheaper; my office has 3 of them and they've not failed yet).

A refurb from Apple. You probably still would qualify for student discount.\nhttp://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=D8593B5A&nclm=CertifiedMac\n\nAs for accessories, adding on to the previous answer. \nUSB Flashdrive\nA USB mini mouse\nDefinitely a Notebook Lock like Kensington's MicroSaver DS

Dell Inspiron or Toshiba lapotops are a good buy. But as someone rightly said; its a mix of your budget and computing needs.

I would go with a Dell laptop.  They have a large selection of laptops from the most basic user to the ultimate gamer.  If you are not looking to spend a lot of money on a laptop then I recommend the Dell Inspiron B120.  Very nice laptop that starts around $578. After taxes, shipping & handling the price will be $667.46.   This laptop has a 40 gigabyte harddrive,  512 megabytes of ram, 1.4 gigahertz processor, CD Burner/DVD burner combo drive with Windows XP.  Hope this helps

If your home/office use is nothing more than surfing the internet and using office applications, then more or less any pc made within the last 4/5 years will be able to do that. You do not need to spend large amounts of money unless you plan to do photo/video editing, gaming, multimedia tasks, or lots of things at once.\nIf you need to carry the computer about, a laptop is recommended.\nA good basic spec is a desktop processor of 2.5ghz or more, or a mobile processor of 1.5ghz or more. 256mb RAM is a good idea, and a hard drive of 40gb is probably the minimum.\nOther components can be whatever you like

It depends on what he is going to use it for. Usually if it is just for school work, children games, email etc. then you can pick up a really cheap on on Ebay. The price is right and it will get the job done!

You should first decide on your budget and your intended uses of the laptop. If you only have $500 to spend then you should seriously consider a refurbished laptop. A new one will cost $600 to $700 by the time it shows up at your door.\n\nDell spends the most on promoting their product and their direct sales model allows them higher margins. This allows them to compete with the other majors Lenovo (IBM), HP and Toshiba. Toshiba and IBM make the best laptops and since calling Dell can be a complete hassle should there be a problem I would consider Toshiba or IBM.\n\nRather than worrying about the manufacturer I would concentrate on what you intend on using the laptop for and the features that matter the most and of course your budget.\n\nOnce you have figured that out then look at what IBM and Toshiba offer and if you must compare it to a similar Dell.\n\nDell runs teasers all the time, but this means people spend more than they intend on spending. Since, you will keep the laptop 3-4 years buying the most appropriate laptop for you needs is the most cost effective strategy.\n\nSo, the long and short of it is type "used laptop" or "refurbished laptop" into google and see which site comes and check out the top 2-3. You might be surprised and find a decent refurbished laptops for an amazing $350.  If you want new and have figured out the features you need, if battery life is most important, if weight is most important then compare similar models from IBM and Toshiba and decide which one best meets your needs.

Right now there is a great deal on a laptop that is good for basic home use. It is an HP and you can get it for $299.99 after a hundred dollar mail in rebate. There are some restrictions but I will definitely be getting one... It is such a steal! Check out all the details at the links below...\n\nhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/circuit-city-to-sell-100-compaq-laptop-on-black-friday/\nhttp://techdirt.com/articles/20061115/164759.shtml\nhttp://news.com.com/Notebooks+dropping+to+99+levels/2100-1041_3-6135370.html\nhttp://bfads.net/pop/3772\n\nOh ya you can actually get the notebook for $99.99 but you have to jump through a lot of hoops and it will probably will end up costing you more in the end...\n\nGood Luck!

Get the Compaq Presario V3000Z series. It's very cheap (I bought mine for $479.99) , and performs well. You can find it here:\nhttp://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Usage&v1=Everyday+computing&series_name=V3000Z_series

600$ is a tight budge, so you might want to look for a slightly used laptop. But good companies are dell, toshiba, and gateway. but quality over bells and whistles and you won't regret it.\nGood luck.

Without knowing what price range you are looking for, that is a hard question to answer.  And what is most important, reliability, or cost?\n\nIf reliability is the key factor, the Panasonic Toughbook is good.  It is very ruggedized, but starts around $2,500.\n\nIf cost is the factor, Dell makes many that start under $600.  But remember, the quality is not as good as those that start at $1,000.

I've had Dell, Gateway & a Think Pad by IBM.  \n\nThey are all pretty good.  How about an Apple?  I hear rave reviews regarding the Apple.\n\nGood luck..........study hard & have FUN!\n\n:-)
