    XP would be preferable over Vista if possible. Thanks for any help.


    Budget: Around a thousand. (Is that realistic?)

    Intended use: Word processing, some Internet usage.

    Mobility: Fairly mobile, somewhere around a 12/13 screen.

    Warranty: Not sure about this one. Family member bought an extended warranty from Dell and they did just about nothing to fix his monitor even though
    it was well within warranty.
