She's a great daughter (one of four adult kids) and always does more than I 
wish she would for Mom and Dad on all holidays.

She was so excited to get her laptop back.  (She was using a Microsoft 
Surface, and just didn't like it.)  She will now use this HP laptop as her 
daily driver.

Many thanks.
