migth want to consider the weigh as the overall consideration if she has to
carry it much, otherwise connectivity is the issue I look at. I have a USB
hub on mine and don't use anything but the processor when in my office. On the
road its nice to not have a soar shoulder from long hauls in the airport! More
and more I'm using my Pocket PC for everything but take along work anyway. About
the only I can't do on it is programming and typing Word documents (time for one
of those keyboard thingies I guess). For real estate maybe you might want to
look at one of those tablet jobs?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

doesn't want to spend much you can get great deals on reconditioned laptops.
I've gotten those for people that don't want to spend much and only do light
duty with them like email and word, etc. you can also get no-name laptops now.
(Most of the big guys don't make their own laptops anyway.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have to spec a notebook for a friend. Any
big difference between a Celeron and a P4? This is for pretty casual use
- Word, Excel, web browsing - not a power user, just getting her real
