My godaughter is heading off to college in the fall and she needs a laptop. Her father and I are starting a search for this laptop, but we are really strapped for cash. Our best estimate is that we will only have $1000 to spend. A bright side is that we can now get all the software we need at Educational pricing so we budgeted for that seperately. (Assumption is XP Pro and Office for starters.)

Any recomendations for hardware? Maybe a stripped model now and add prepherials throughout the year?

Suggestions?

Look at a refurbished unit or a used one. YOu can get a really nice laptop from Ebay(used) or try like tigerdirect.com or mfgr. website for refurbished ones that usually still have a factory warranty.
