Thane,
Thanks. I found the Acer Aspire Switch which is one of those
convertibles, not too expensive. I'll bring up the damage protection
with her.

My friend down in Florida is sending his daughter to college. She's
saved up money in the range of $500 to $600 for a laptop. I haven't
nailed down all her requirements, but she did mention she'd like one
with the detachable keyboard, then rattled off some standard stuff
like storing stuff to flash memory, printing and then camera/mic.
I know this is vague, but I don't do laptops, so I'm not sure what's
out there that is decent. She mentioned that the ones she's seen
either don't meet her requirements or cost too much. Yeah, I'll have
to get her to explain.
If it were me, I'd get an Acer with a 3 year Total Protection
warranty. Covers failure and accidental damage and with college
students, accidental damage is huge.
It will cost more than $600 (maybe US is cheaper, but I doubt it).
