Hi. It depends. First of all, it is you who should know, if he is willing to have a wide screen tft and who has to heed the purse. Wide Screen tfts are known for they "human" look, because our eyes see the world in a broad look, so it is more adapted at out nature. So, as i said at the beginning, it depends on you.

When buying a new notebook, what is good at the moment?
That also depends on your demands. What do you want to work on, with a notebook?
Well, if that`s the case, then i would affirm, that you need a core 2 duo cpu (e.g. Intel T 5XXX) , a graphic card with 128 MB Ram (e.g. geforce 7400 GO) and at least 1 GB Ram, a hard disk with a capacity of 80 GB or more. That are the main components, that you should use. The rest depens, but the more the notebook inherits, the more are the costs. I think ebay should be a good target to search for models. But you could also ask for cheap shops in your home country in forums, which are hold in your language and country.
Besides these basic figures like CPU model or graphics adapter there are a lot of others things to mention which probably don't seem to be obvious at a first glance:
- Decide if you prefer a reflective or a non-reflective screen. Reflective ones provide a brighter visualization with more contrast. However, the reflection of environmental objects can be cumbersome.
- Make sure the notebook fits your needs _entirely_! In most cases there's no chance to upgrade the computer. Watch out for the notebook's interfaces! Although you can install some of them by using a USBAdapter or PCMCIA slots, this should be a stopgap, as those are limited.
- If you can, go and get a picture of the notebook in a retailer's shop. Some models look nice on web images, but might give you a cheap impression if you really hold it in your hands. The keyboard might make annoying sounds, or the case might be of a poor quality.
- Furthermore, check out if the Battery is easily removeable. This is important if you're planning to work a lot with the computer plugged to mains supply. Otherwise your battery would be damaged quite fast.
