I'm a little late, her birthday is today
Anyways, she's studying Art Historie and she needs a laptop.
Things to take into consideration:
- It will ONLY be used for word and internet explorer.
- Her eye-sight isn't perfect, so I'm thinking a back-lit keyboard with clear letters would be nice
- Her typing is definately not perfect, so relatively big keys would be a plus, so she doesn't cramp up. A full keyboard would be nice.
- She'll probably just carry it in her purse most of the time, so something robust would be great.
- She walks to the university for lectures, so something not too heavy would be nice as well.
- I'm thinking 15" would be good, 17" is probably too big
- She does not need a num pad
- Fast boot times would be nice, but not required
- Non-glossy screen please
- She won't need a lot of HDD space. ~100GB will probably be more than enough.
I'd say the most important point is it being robust.
Annnnd go I'm not going to post a budget, but from the above you should be able to figure out that she doesn't need a fancy IGP, CPU, etc.
