Hello,
If it does not come with a free upgrade to Windows 7, then your son
might want to take advantage of the "Windows 7 for $30" offer for
students:
US [$30] - http://www.win741.com/
UK [£30] - http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/studentoffer/
Also, if your son is taking a computer science track, he might be interested
in signing up for an ACM student membership, which provides an MSDN license
for about $19/year: http://campus.acm.org/public/quickjoin/interim.cfm
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

My son wants a laptop for daily use at college,
though he has a desktop pc - more textbooks are
pdf's, and wifi on the campus, etc.
There's a "You pay what we pay" promotion with Lenovo, maybe I can swing it.
This is a Dad pay item.
Wifi, 14" since they are all widescreen now,
trackpoint, XP (either theirs or mine - if drivers are available)
Which series do I opt for?
A decently spec'd Inspiron is $900, and that
seems high for a midrange unit with a one year warranty - doesn't it?
I use a couple older pre-Lenovo Thinkpads, and a
Vaio, but don't say anything about the Vaio - it's a work thing.
TIA,
Matt
