I have always liked Dell. That said yesterday I bought a refurbed Apple MacBook.
A couple of years ago I bought my wife and granddaughter Toshiba L series laptops. While mostly plastic at the time their recent offerings are here: http://www.toshiba.com/us/customlanding.to?page=Satellite_L_Series I spent about $600 / per laptop and both are running well presently.

She's saved up money in the range of $500 to $600 for a laptop. I haven't nailed down all her requirements, but she did mention she'd like one with the detachable keyboard, then rattled off some standard stuff like storing stuff to flash memory, printing and then camera/mic. I know this is vague, but I don't do laptops, so I'm not sure what's out there that is decent. She mentioned that the ones she's seen either don't meet her requirements or cost too much. Yeah, I'll have to get her to explain. Any ideas? Thanks....Steve
