You can do anything on it! I have an apple and currently attending a university they all have wifi built in and some have cameras built in. You can make videos or a business template so if your child changes his or her mind they are set. An Apple computer they are amazing! You can do anything on it!

Currently laptops are available in full size with 13"+ to 17" screens and range in price from $500 to $2000. Their are Dells, Compaq, and many other brands available at stores like Best Buy and Circuit City. If you want something smaller, you probably need to shop online, and these are smaller much more portable devices, which work well for in class notes and carrying every day. They won't do as well for big projects and often compromise on features to fit into the smaller form factor. Asus has a complete line of EEE which are very small and reasonably priced entry level laptops. The first choice is size.

Dell, IBM/Lenovo, HP/Compac, Sony and even Appleare good brands. The features to include are wifi or wireless modem, DVD reader (burner not usually needed) 1gigabyte of memory and at least 50gb of hard drive. Avoid the Celeron CPU chip as it lacks level 1 memory, and it's counterpart in AMD which is called Turion. I use the IBM T41 (not the latest model) as it is built well and can take a lot of abuse.
