Craptop - Acer Aspire 3680

Ok, so I decided that I really enjoy having a laptop when going to school. My recently deceased Sony VIAO did this cool magic trick of 'not working', so I decided to pick up another laptop. Needless to say, ALL I'll be doing with it is surfing the net, and writing papers; MAYBE listening to music. Through Dealnews.com I found the absolute most inexpensive laptop available. Turns out it's the Acer Aspire 3680, from Best Buy. Grand total after tax was roughly $486. Not bad for a new operating system, 80gig HD, 512 RAM, WiFi, and a Celeron M 520. I haven't road tested it yet, but we'll assume the battery sucks. And I'll obviously need to adjust to using Vista. Overall, though, a good deal.
