First I am a Mac person so when asked by my granddaughter's mother about what PC laptop would be great for my granddaughter -- I don't have the answer. She is a high school student with the usual HS interests. Her mom is putting a wireless network in the house just so her daughter can have a computer in the lower level for her homework (yea right!) But we need a computer with enough power to use the MS Office suite, have wireless capability, and be durable. I'm thinking at least 512 and must be able to burn CDs (and maybe DVDs). And what is the difference between: Microsoft® Windows® XP Home and Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional Should I care about which operating system they should get? Does anyone have any recommendations - -and if so can you point me to a WWW address where I can check specs and prices. Dell, HP, is Gateway still in business??? Thanks for any help you can give me.
