Like i said budget is a concern looking to spend $500. If there is something great for cheaper I am all ears. If itS a little more and worth it I can do that. Thanks all!

Does she "NEED" a laptop or will a desktop work?

I am in the same exact situation, sort of. I spent a full day researching it. I would like a laptop, but a desktop will be fine.

I run my small business from home and work. I can use a desktop at both locations, rather than 1 laptop. Here's what I just ordered.

$110. I bought 2. One for home and one for work. You will need a monitor, but you can find old ones for free, or used flat screen ones for very little money. A friend just gave me a 37" flat panel LED tv for free, and I have another free flat screen computer monitor, so I'm covered for both units.

If she's okay with a desktop and a traditional monitor, I think you can accomplish what you want for less than $150. Bump that up to $200 with a flat used flat screen monitor. If you want to increase the RAM, it costs another $20 and takes 1 minute to install.

I think it's a great deal with ample upgradeable power. It should have ample processing power for business software, word documents, internet browsing, etc.
