Off topic-What notebook to get

[Fred Grant]

Our youngest son will soon be in the market for a laptop/notebook.  I
would appreciate the latest skinny on what's out there that seems to
provide good value.

He'll need wifi for sure and will probably use some form of (gasp!)
Windows as he hasn't any technical inclination whatsoever.  That means
security will be an issue.

Games are not a big deal but some decent capability should be built in.

I should mention that he is 31 years old to sort of frame the situation
more completely.

Thanks
