Dell E1505 or E1405 are excellent choices for a lady. Plus use the $750 Dell when available. http://www.meanbargains.com/dell/

E1405 is too small.

The only 15.4 screens under 6.5 lbs by dell are the:
d820
inspiron 6400
precision workstation m65

the 1505 i could probably max out, but it wouldnt be white and for some reason my mom thinks they look boring, but i convince her otherwise..
