I need to get a present for my son's girlfriend for high school graduation. Do I get her a laptop or a tablet with keyboard? If so, which one? I am overwhelmed. I want one for college she can take notes on, carry around campus, etc. She is clumsy so I don't want something easy to break/flimsy.

That's a very nice gift! I think I would go with a laptop over a tablet if they're someone who drops things a lot. You could alsways put a case and screen protector on it I guess, but the new Apple MacBook Neo should be perfect for a college student. Especially if they have an iPhone already. It's smaller, durable and has 16 hours of battery life.

I'm not seeing any active deals for the Neo, but here's a page with all the best laptop deals that have been posted https://slickdeals.net/category/laptop/
