Well, the point of the Mobile Makeover program is to upgrade an already existing laptop. Maybe it would be more financially feasible to buy a completely new notebook, but they're working within the bounds of the program. Plus it didn't cost her a dime and it gets newegg some publicity. Also one less laptop in the landfill. Sounds great to me.

wow.... thats such a waste of money, they should have just bought a new computer with a better processor

[retromelon123]

hmm..............

or you could have bought a new laptop that's lighter, faster, lasts longer, stores more, has a built in webcam, etc. etc.

and it would probably have cost a couple of hundered less :)

I thought these guys are supposed to be experts. Here, tell you what, I'll log onto Dell.com and get you a brand-new machine with all that stuff for half of what they payed. And that openoffice thing he said, you loose some of the formatting details with it when you save to .doc format. Don't get me wrong, I use Ubuntu and Ooffice all the time, and love them, but openoffice is not quite there yet, there are still issues with it...
