There are plenty of reasonable 15 inchers out there.  The problem is finding something that you can carry.  The missus started with an HP 14 inch laptop b/c it was cheaper, ended up buying a new Dell 13 inch laptop with the smallest battery option lately, but she did last 2 years on the HP.

At least the 15's come with XP!
As long as it doesn't come with OS X - that has taken one hell of a hiding on the CERT lists this week, like about 20 critical and medium security flaws announced this week (as opposed to 1 for all Windows platforms) :P
The beauty of a Mac isn't OSX, it's the built in support for multi-boot including XP.

And you will notice that I didn't bring up macs . . .  ::) ;D
Probably, like all "my mac is so secure" peeps, keeping a low profile this week ;)

depends entirely what they want to use it for. For basic internet surfing/email and office type stuff, that will be fine.

Games/video editing etc etc, forget it.

Your lucky.....last time my laptop had the blue screen of death.....it needed rebuilding.....actually just remembered thats not true.....it blue screened about two weeks ago on start up.....but it had been running on battery and went into suspend mode.....so i guess the battery gave up before it had finished 'suspending'.....its got a knackered battery in it......will run for 20mins max on battery.
Last time mine bsod'd was when I was laying in the bath, and I dropped it  :-[
Was that bsod or crackle fizz pop cloud of smoke?
It was balanced on the side. Fortunately it fell on the floor, rather than in the wet stuff...
Lucky.
Got a bsod screensaver somewhere, must put it on her lappy when I find it. ;D ;D
That'll be the old Sysinternals one then...

Seeing as none of mine have blue screened, and it needs a kernel process to bsod it, I'm guessing something with the AV...

I'm afraid that, now I've fixed this, and paid £110 for 2 new tyres, I'm going to have to charge you £50, if you want the car...
£45 for cash, but only if you valet it!

;D

I think you may end up having to replace buckled wheel, as its almost impossible to 'balance' that out...

Apparently buckle was very slight.
There is now NO vibratrion at any speed.

Still replace?
If the vibration returns, I would replace.  If you are happy for now, stick with it, but keep an eye on strange tyre wear.
