I'm buying it for my mother. Last year I bought her the Asus Transformer, and its mostly good, but its pretty clear some things are just best on a real computer (laptop). She spends a lot of time reading websites and occasionally playing browser based games. I just want a relatively inexpensive laptop she'll be comfortable with as far as typing and reading the screen. I don't want to spend more than $500-600. I think I can get a decent one that doesn't feel sluggish with photos, videos, and multiple browser tabs with your help / suggestions.
