Laptop for Under $800 for My Sister

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My sister needs a new laptop. She works in New York and does a lot of office work and work from home as well. Last time I kind of dropped the ball and got her a dud of a laptop. She specified she did not want a Dell. She said she was thinking of an HP Entertainment Notebook but I know people with them and honestly I haven't found them to be too reliable. Here are some hints:

- Likes to play music from her laptop speakers
- Needs something fairly quick, wants it to load up quickly
- Preferably something lightweight but not necessity
- Lots of office work
- Wants XP if possible (going to be a tough one)
- I'd have trouble getting her to go along with a laptop that isn't a known brand (Acer would probably be the least known brand I would be able to get her to go for)


Thank you all for any help!

Thanks for the response. Probably looking for 15" but no bigger.

Sony CS series, HP DV5 series, Lenovo even (and others ) do offer what you and your sister need and look for (hopefully).

XP will be tough, just the thought of maintaining the update of the drivers, if you find them first, can make one feel frustration.

Have her visit a store and come back with her wishes.

cheers ...
