laptop - need suggestion - 11/27/2007 0:20:35
I am buying a laptop for my 5 year old this Christmas. (She has been saving for a year. She even sold some of her toys and other unwanted items she found to make some money to buy a laptop.)
Can you suggest a good laptop at a price around $700. She wants to be able to write letters, play learning games, and use graphic software to create her magazines and story books. We also want wireless.
We are also looking to buy a wireless all in one printer. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help!

Do you have any experience with Toshiba? I found some decent deals on Toshiba.

I went back and forth between a desktop and laptop. I picked laptop because that is the one I will take when I travel. Another reason why I don't want to spend a lot of money on it.
I found some possibilities. My question now, I read mixed reviews on vista. (I have xp on my laptop.) Do you like vista or would you stick with xp?

Most laptops do not have enough speed/hardware/horsepower to run Vista. Unless you're getting a top of the line laptop, and even then, I don't think I would get Vista for it. I run Vista on my desktop, which is nice, but for my laptop I'm sticking with XP.

I spent a couple hours reading reviews...Time consuming, but a necessity. I am only going to allow her to work on the laptop when her dad or I are in the room. (She has her own desk right next to mine.) She also knows that using a laptop is a privilege, it can be taken away in a heart beat.
I will check into the accidental damage protection. This laptop will be traveling with us...
Thank you for the recommendations!

I ended up buying a Dell at the last minute. I paid less than what I was planning to pay so I was happy. And my daughter is happy to finally have her own laptop.
