Hi everyone. I need some honest advice so I come here for the best! 

I am NOT very technical at all. I basically use my desktop for:

Ebay
Email
Standard Searches for info or reviews on a product
Shopping On the Internet

I am NOT a 'gamer' and really not into listening to music or watching movies on a computer.

I recently saw a comercial for Optimum Online (my cable provider) claiming they have sent WiFi cells all over my area so I thought it may be a good idea to get my first laptop.

I am a single mom with little 'fun' money for myself and an Amazon.com store credit for $120, so I prefer buying a laptop there. (Makes sense, right? )


Ok, here is is...

Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB HARD Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Sapphire Blue

Model: LU.S050B.133  

Here is the page:  http://www.amazon.com/Acer-8-9-inch-Processor-Battery-Sapphire/dp/B001EYV9TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1226851393&sr=1-1


I CHOSE it for a few reasons:

1- Good Reviews
2 - Low Price
3 - Small / Light Weight
4 - Wifi
5 - Windows XP (Prefered)


Can any notebook pro's out there tell me if I am making a good choice??



I appreciate all of your opinions and help.
