personally im going to purchase this in very very very near future!

Also some of the HP DV5 series are of pretty good spec, just avoid the 
Athlon Dual Cores advertised no 64bit if you notice!
I find the DV5 series to be built like a tank

If she really wants a laptop, wait a month or two - Win7 is due to be 
released soon and all the Vista laptops are bound to drop like rocks 
price wise. Also apparently theres a rumor that if you hand in your 
Vista licence, you can get half off Windows 7 - not sure if that counts 
for OEM sales of Vista

Its a good spec for a sony, and damn what a price!

hope this helps :)
