Yep!  I went out and bought a Dell Notebook for my Wife!  Complete with wireless so she can sit and watch TV while she does her work.  And I was impressed with the prices!  Just when you think they cant get any lower, they do!

This one comes with most of the bells and whistles.  I did not get a DVD burner, but that is about the only thing it does not come with.  And all for about a grand!  It helped that I do business with them regularly, so I could buy off their Small Business site.

My wife had a dinosaur that she paid a fortune for about 6 years ago (before we met).  It is still a viable computer, but sits unused in the computer room.  This little baby cost about 1/3 the price, has 6 times the horses and twice the memory (and a 15.4" screen!).  I usually stay away from notebooks as I do like to tinker and add things to my units, but she likes to watch TV while she is doing her case work, so a notebook was best (she is using my work one right now, and that is a real dog).

So I dont worry about Keeping up with the Jones'.  I am keeping up with the Dharmas!
