My girlfriend is heading off to China for 4 months at the end up August and is looking to get a laptop to take with her. Her budget is around $1000CAD but could go a bit higher if needed. This is strictly a web/office use laptop as she never games.
I have been looking around and so far I've found:
Toshiba Intel Centrino Duo T2050 1.6GHz Laptop (A100-0FH) - $999 + tax at futureshop ($200 off)
I also priced out a dell 640m. Came to about $1000 without the warranty and $1300 with 3yr complete care.
I figure somethign like complete care would be handy because it covers accidental damage and if she's travelling through China/Elsewhere the chance of something breaking is a lot higher than just hanging around here.
Any other ideas?
