I mainly do word processing and internet, i also need wireless. I am computer illiterate, stupid, please help I would be most grateful. I am in Melbourne in Australia.

i dont want to pay to much for it maby one for $350-$450 if thats not possible just the cheapest one. it doesnt have to b hight tech i just want to do simple stuff, aim, facebook, some games video chat and just look stuff up on the internet, u no the basics. Thanks

I need a cheap laptop that can surf the net and play games like COD MW2. Will a netbook with a (external?) CDROM drive work? Are the graphics good enough? I’m limited on $$$.

I am trying to convince my mom to let me get a laptop, but I need some suggestions first.
I would be using the laptop for iTunes, my pictures, and Internet Explorer.
A Mac is a bit expensive, so I was leaning more on the less fancier ones.
Thank you:)
