Laptops are generally divided into four sizes: ultra-portable, thin-and-light, mainstream, and desktop replacement. Ultra portables are more or less 4 pounds light and have around 4 hours power on a single battery charge. They, however, have smaller monitors – 12 inches or less and have slower processing capability. Ultra portables are ideal for students and business persons who need to have their laptops all the time but do not mainly use it for entertainment, gaming, or editing pictures or videos. Thin and light laptops weigh around 5 pounds, have bigger monitors – around 15 inches, and faster processing capability. The same with ultra portables, thin and light laptops are suitable to be carried around everyday but it delivers better for document processing and entertainment. Mainstream laptops are best for those are on a budget. The monitors are around 15 inches and weigh around 6 pounds, processing power is average. Desktop replacements are the king of laptops. The monitors are around 17 to 19 inches and weigh about 7 pounds. The models in this category contain top-of-the-line components that are far better at handling video editing and gaming than the other types of laptops. Since they are packed with powerful components, the desktop replacements do not have a long battery life. They last around 2 hours on batteries.
try one of hps laptops they are good or anything!
I’d buy a Toshiba, Dell, or HP. They are mostly good for those jobs. If she does have a laptop then these following might help. If she has windows xp I would get professional edition. If shes got vista or later I’d upgrade to Business or Ultimate. I’d recommend the Business edition though. Its cheaper than Ultimate with a good security. Or she can request a linux from ubuntu and run it as a secondary system on that computer if it meets the requirements and has enough room.
