Ok fellas... Here's the deal... My girlfriend (as some of u know...) is a Independent Beauty Consultant for MARY KAY... Her entire production and business logistics thrive on field appts./work and scheduling... About a month ago here DELL computer took a shit on her after taking it to Best Buy and having it repaired... Her brother-in-law diag. the problem as a manufacture problem with the specific model she has and the issue WILL occur again if repaired... Apparently, it is a cheaper model that was specifically drawn toward students and she needs something a lil more on the business aspect as well as personal usage. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good buy affordable laptop to buy? I am a lil strapped for $$$ and don't have tons to spend on something like this but I want to see what I can be able to do for her...Especially, with Xmas being around the corber and this gift she will NOT be expecting... In the market for new or used 15-17in laptop... as long as used looks NEW... Thanks alot for the help in advance as always...

Note: Model number and spec would be GREATLY appreciated... and any review comments on why the specific model u suggest...Thanks!
