Dell Latitudes except the small/thin "executive fashion" models. E6500 is a good choice. Spring for the extra cost of 3 year NBD onsite repair plus the "anything you do the poor thing" accidental damage insurance. The builds are solid but it's easy to do things like damage the screen or spill something on it. Get the largest HD offered. You may want to max the RAM as well. Also, go for the highest-resolution display offered. Once you get it, you're not likely to be upgrading anything else except the HD until the day it's retired.

This. Or at the very least, look at the business side of various manufacturers. Only one I have had the experience with is Dell's business side. If Lenovo has similar offerings (not just in hardware, but support and warranties), that is also a viable choice. Notably, unless he is wanting to be 100% hands on and/or spend valuable time/money on fixing the notebook when things break, get service plans!

I swear, some people should have pace-makers installed to free up the resources. Breathing and heart beat taxes their whole system, all of their brain cells wasted on life support.-two bit brains, and the second bit is wasted on parity! ~head_spaz]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Friend-needs-solid-laptop-for-business-use-28035884 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:23:06 EDT Re: Friend needs solid laptop for business use http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Friend-needs-solid-laptop-for-business-use-28035867 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Friend-needs-solid-laptop-for-business-use-28035867 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:07:23 EDT Re: Friend needs solid laptop for business use http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Friend-needs-solid-laptop-for-business-use-28035816 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Friend-needs-solid-laptop-for-business-use-28035816 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 06:00:35 EDT Re: Friend needs solid laptop for business use http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Friend-needs-solid-laptop-for-business-use-28035727 us.getac.com/

He's not technically savvy and I've been out of the hardware scene for a while - not even sure what CPUs are standard today.
