Computers Laptops ideas for a 10 year old

My daughter is in the same boat. She is 11 and in her first year of middle school. Next semester she has a computer class, and her current classes make use of technology as well, which is pretty cool.

My folks want to get her a netbook for Christmas. I have not yet done any research to figure out which brand is best, although Dell is off my list at the moment. My Dad has a Dell netbook, and he wanted to put in some additional Ram. I was going to do it for him, but it is a major, major pain in the ass to put memory in a Dell netbook. Practically have to take the whole thing apart.

So far I know that I want a netbook with either 2gb of ram, or one that the ram can be reasonably easy to upgrade.

I would imagine that there will be some nice Christmas shopping deals on netbooks this season as holiday sales get going.
