i dont know what that's capable of doing, but at that price, who cares? it does lots more than the best ipod touch for less money.

i'm going to get one those for me soon, they're great and cheap and i can just throw them in my backpack without giving a fuck.
i leave the serious computing for desktops.
i don't know if netbooks is what she's looking for, though.

and acer...
in my the build quality is much better than what it used to be, but that's just my opinion.
plus acer supports linux, and i'm usually biased towards companies that give freedom of choice to their costumers.

but yes, if build quality is what you're looking for, thinkpads are probably the best choice, i just omitted them because most people tend to run away from them.
