I have an ASUS. I know Digital City sells them.

I bought it because it was cheap, upgradable (2 RAM chips means I can but 2 Gig of RAM in there), came with every type of port I could ever hope for, etc.
I only really use it for teh internets, work stuff, watching DVDs and editing photographs and it's fine for that. Had it for over 2 years now.

Oh and you could check out some of the places that offer rental plans like radio rentals. Might be able to get something reliable and pay it off slowly.

she has a small lump-sum of money right now.
Probably best to spend it upfront while it's there to be spent...

I've heard ASUS are good for the features for money thing, and are one of the brands I was going to spend a bit of time investigating - but never heard about what they're like on reliability and warranty...

hmmm....

I'm not sure about warranty. I've never had to use it.
The only probs I've had is the case being a little bit weak in some places and the power cable splitting (which was prolly more my fault as I move it around a lot).

I often leave it turned on for 2 weeks at a time without any issues.

Oh and it's a really neatly arranged lappy to pull apart.
