Also, dont waste your money on an office suite such as MS Office when you can find free ones such as Open Office ( www.openoffice.org ). The same for programs such as Photoshop, there is an program called GIMP ( www.gimp.org ) thats free.

If your daughter is going to be a student next year I would avoid purchasing software for a computer. Universities and community colleges get exceptional discounts on software, so she is better off buying it herself because of the cost.

I highly recommend she get an external hard drive to back up her computer. Everyone should get into the habit of doing that at least once daily, especially a student who will have important school work on her computer. A best Buy or Circuit City gift card can go toward that.

I also reccommend that. Even though i dont do it because i have nothing of real importance on my laptop, i would reccommend a Maxtor or a Mybook external hard drive.
