Business laptop

[harobikes333]

Hello

My mom currently owns a small business and is tired of having to be at home to order things, pay bills, etc. She's looking for a laptop that is pretty speedy mabe be able to watch movies...<--Doesn't have to. And is about 800-1000 dollars.

She runs a store that sells stuff like teacher stuff...
I suppose she might use quickbooks<--she bought it but she couldn't figure it out <--I wasn't home at the time and she just finally gave up. (note the link in my sig, I'm building a new one...)

Any suggestions? I'm completely lost when it comes to laptops. My parents don't know anything about computers at all so I'm hoping you guys can help out please?

Is it important for the laptop to be portable, or would something closer to a desktop replacement laptop be more appropriate?

The first thing that comes to mind right now for a business laptop within that budget would be a ThinkPad R51 or Z60m.

I second the R and Z series Thinkpads. Check at Newegg because they have specials on the Thinkpads all the time.

So does Office Depot right now - and you can touch and feel. Also, HP/Compaq have some excellent values on sale.
