Re: Buying a Laptop!

I'm going to vote for the laptop that I have right now, an HP Pavilion 5000 series. I have had no problem with it whatsoever, and it does an excellent job following your requirements of word processing and Internet. It has a big screen, which tends to draw lots of battery power at full brightness, but it's easier to read web pages and other text. Checking the HP website I found the refurbished laptops for $900.
An added plus is that it has USB ports on both sides, which doesn't seem like a lot until you plug in other devices and its starts to get crowded on one side.

Haven't had the opportunity to deal with HP's customer service, so I don't have an opinion on that yet.
