I really wish he would have talked to me before he ordered - while I like my laptop, while I was in school there were some definite problems with it (for one, it's over five pounds, so carrying it around in a bag made for a sore shoulder), I had significant problems connecting to my school's wireless network, etc. Dell's known for having pretty great desktops, but he could have gotten an HP from Walmart significantly cheaper and just as good if not better than what he's got coming from Dell. They're just not all that great at making laptops.
I think part of the reason why I like mine so much is because it's mine.
But, for what he uses it for (e-mail, internet, word processing, picture saving) it should be fine. He's all excited because he hasn't had a laptop in years, and he can't wait to get a wireless network.

Right when I was reading you rpost, one of my co workers showed me Walmart's laptops for Black Friday...one was an e machine and the other was a Dell with a Celeron processor....took me about 10 mins to explain why they are so bad....
Folks remember, when buyng a PC, it's like buying a car.....have a knowledgable person along who speaks geekspeech to get you thru!
