Back when I bought my computer as a graduation gift in 2002, the disparity between laptop and desktop prices and the processing speed and capabilities was high enough that I chose to stick with a desktop for the amount of computer resources I would need, since it fit my budget better. However, the technology has improved much in the last three years, and some days I do find myself wishing I had a laptop in addition to my home unit for those days when I just don't want to hunt down a computer at school. If you can find out her computer habits, the laptop is the most reasonable way to go for most people. Maybe instead of getting her THE computer, get her a card and in there tell her you will go with her to pick one out. She may have a personal preference and just want a desktop for the bigger keyboard - I know some people can NOT stand the smaller laptop keys.
