My second oldest is graduating from high school in a couple of weeks or so. She is heading to University in the fall and as a grad present we are going to give her a new laptop.

It's also going to be her computer at home as even with our two good computers it's a constant battle to get on them. We actually have three but the little one running Linux isn't cool enough and they won't use it.

Advice would be appreciated. What's important to me is reliability. Price wise the more expensive ones are likely out of my range. But I'm not looking at bargain basement either as I want to make sure this machine is good quality. I've never owned a Mac but I'm not adverse to buying one if that's the way to go. Hopefully that's enough info to go on but if not just ask away!!!!
