Good Laptop for the Sis

[Particle]

So its nearly time for my sister to be heading off to university so our hunt for a laptop for her has intensified.

She mainly uses the computer for writing up reports and talking to friends online, she doesn't game and she rarely installs any programs.

This is where you come in Eclipse! :P
I was wondering if you could pick out any laptops (Preferably Toshiba, HP, or Dell) that would fit her nicely and are in the $500 - $800 range. 

Also apparently another requirement she wants put in there is that she wants it to be colored (Pink, Purple, Green) one of those colors.

I was thinking about a Dell Studio Laptop

I would go with a Starling Netbook, it's cheap, lightweight, and good for writing reports/chatting(has those programs built in).
