Review with better CPU: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3118 -- keep in mind that model came with a better CPU.

gotapex.com also lists some good dell vostro laptop deals, so be sure to check them out aside from fw and sd.

Dell's aren't bad, but Thinkpads are great as far as construction and durability. If those things aren't needed, get a dell instead... you could find better deals if you don't need the quality of a thinkpad.

If she wants to play games, get one with a discrete vidcard, instead of Intel GMA950/X3000
