OK Laptop been playing about for last few months, keeps crashing and not sure whats up with it.  Its 4 years old, other PCs in office are all on vista or whatevere and im stuck on xp?! I have new software coming in Jan so need to act fast.  Also Ive stolen someone elses power lead now as mine didnt power up anymore as I keep birning them out.

I use the following:-

Word
Excel
Outlook
A software package for my work (not massive)
Msn
Internet
Acobat r something for pictures

I dont do any gaming but must be wireless?!  Id prefer Dell as its leasing which helps with cashflow but if not will at a push buy outright up to about £650?

Not sure if I have gone on too much here but im cack at computers

in that case i would suggest what you have above would certainly be capable, you could even get a cheaper one if you only want it for surfing and MS Office stuff.

There's people on here who know a lot more about this stuff than me though, hopefully one of them will pipe up.

My only concern would be the Celeron processor, but I guess thats why its 'competitively priced'. Dated technology.
