    If you want to spend money effectively, then lower your standards. :)

    I would consider myself a laptop power user and I wouldn't even go for that laptop. It is an extremely powerful machine that is probably waaaaay to high-spec for what you need to do.

    Have a look at the 1300 model - and increase the RAM to 1Gb for extra bit of performance. The 1300 is entry level, and it is not the fastest of machines, but it will suffice for just word, powerpoint and web surfing.
