Hi

Also depends on what course she will be doing ? Will she need media editing capability (graphic-music) or just word-processing(MS Office))

have a look at these links and price around for the best deal

Choose processer eg i5, Ram 4-8GB, Storage 250GB - 2TB, Screen Size (portable or deskbound)

She is going to need
- MS Office Student edition
- Antivirus software (I prefer Norton, but McAfee seems to be on all the bundles).

Size/Weight
Is she going to be carrying in/out of College or will it be mostly be in her room (home/flat)? So a good bag will be needed.

Security
50% of all student laptops get stolen/lost or damaged in year 1 so perhaps consider having to purchase 2 x laptops over the 3/4 year programme.

Refurbished Laptops - worth considering (based on above)
