My 17 year old is starting university in the fall. We all know about apples on campus and the "cool thing" but this is about functionality. she doesn't need to be a star on the computer...she just needs the darn thing to work. so, for her...assuming portability, what does she really need? if i said 15" laptop to start...i see quite a few options. what would a student need? i can see that i need to buy mac office it looks like...but what other software does a guy need out of the gate? any recommendations?

If you know what you're doing Macs simply don't justify the price premium over PCs.
I can't talk netbooks up enough.
The Asus line is $400 or less and will do everything the vast majority of all Mac users use their laptops for.
Perfect for students, infact way better for students than a heavy expensive macbook.
