Cool Buying a Laptop
My Dad is looking into getting a new laptop and I've told him that he really doesn't want a Vista...

Any suggestions??

He needs Office and Internet but not much else. He is also on a budget.

Suggestions welcome.

Why would you tell him that he doesn't want Vista?

I've always been a fan of Dell laptops. I own a D400 myself.

Best Buy had a Compaq for $434.00, only problem, running Vista. Check next week at Best Buy, they've had sales the past 2 weeks now on laptops.
