She wants something with a very big screen. A netbook would be perfect for what she wants to do, in fact I was trying to talk her into an iPad. She wants an iPad for my netbook replacement, but I won't get one for myself until the new one comes out in April.

They also have a Dell with a 17" and 640gb storage 6gb memory and i5 processor and Blu ray along with 4G Wimax capabilities for $880 which is pretty good considering specs.
I'm sure we'll have another look at BB. Pretty sure we saw that Toshiba. I wish she didn't have these silly requirements. After talking with her yesterday, she's pretty much made up her mind on the Toshiba and Asus models linked above. Any advice on Gateway that you can give me?

Thankfully, we're waiting until after the holidays to make this purchase so we have a little time. Hopefully we'll be able to catch a sale too.
