that is the open question of all time! some high level points

Two spindle (optical, HDD - who needs a floppy anymore), 14.1 minimum screen (for the eye), full size keyboard (avoid those 90% sized keys), winXP (solid OS), and most importantly buy them both a bag that they like that has padding to protect the laptop - a couple of weeks in a std. napsack will probably kill it. Check the toshiba satellite line, dell inspiron 4100, ibm has a new R series that could fit the bill.

Dell is a pretty good way to go if you are looking to save money.

(Make SURE they understand it is not to be treated roughly and get the extended warranty.) ;)

You configure the notebook the way you want.

Dell "refurbished" is even more inexpensive.
