Re: Should I buy this laptop?
Weight and size matter a lot for a school machine. You might like to compare that HP with the products on Eee PC | Easy to Learn, Work and Play
Those subnotebooks are a lot cheaper, too. I've used them for word processing and the Internet, they're perfectly adequate. They weigh around 2 pounds rising to 3 for the larger screen version.

With todays prices you could get a new one in the box for that price. I'm not big on floor models been handled to much.

Turn of any firewalls Vista may have up and any Antivirus us until you get the wireless connected and working. In your control window has a FIREWALL that is obnoxious turn it off you don't need it.
