Laptop suggestions

I am looking for a laptop and do not have a clue what to get. It is for my wife and she will be using it for internet, some school work, no games. I am looking to spend up to 800.00

Thanks

I have a 5 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop and it has never let me down. I paid about 800 for it and paid another 300 for XP Professional. No matter which computer you buy in that price range you are going to have to pay a license fee to get the full version of the Microsoft programs.

x2 for looking on newegg.com. They are usually the cheapest and always have great customer service.

I would suggest looking at HP's that are loaded with Windows XP. Laptops are notorious for running slow and crashing when the computer is running Vista, and is matched with a weak processor.
