What Laptop Should I Buy for My Wife?

With 2 young daughters (under age 2), my wife gets very little time for herself, especially on our desktop. I would like to get her a laptop that she can take into any room of the house and use when she gets the chance.

She would mainly use it to check email, do internet comparison shopping and write in Microsoft Word. It doesn't need a huge memory or high end graphics or audio as we can do that on our desktop.

I don't want to spend a fortune, but I do want something quick, reliable, durable and that will be easy for her to carry around the house.

My work laptop is a Dell which I like OK and our home desktop is a Mac which I like OK.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Update:

I don't want to spend more than $600 and I'm in the US.

Keep those suggestions coming!

Thanks

    I would seriously consider the mac book line of laptops!

    If those are to much money you can go to an apple store and buy cheaper discontinued models(which still are great)

    Hope I Helped!
