Norton cames pre-installed on Compaq's/HPs.

The only thing I don't like about the specs you listed, Beth, is the Celeron processor. My mobile Pentium 3 runs smoother than many Celerons I've used.
With almost all major brand PCs you're going to get a lot of bloatware pre-installed on the computer. Spend some time taking it off. It's worth it.

One thing I wold also recommend is going to a store and playing with a similar laptop to this one. Type on the keyboard, see how the screen looks (detail and brightness), etc. Many people have different preferences with those things.

I personally like Thinkpads.
Then again, all notebooks come from almost the same place anyway.
