My mom is currently using an old pc with 256 mb of ram, we think it's time to get a netbook. All she needs is something that can run office 2007 and maybe a few webpages at the same time. Even though that's a small requirment, she also wants to be able to keep the netbook for a long time (as she has done with her current computer). Does anyone have any suggestions around $450 or less? Let me rephrase that, max is $450. Personally I want to get her a computer with a dual core, but maybe that's overkill.
This computer looks nice:

Oh, and the reason we want a netbook instead of a cheap desktop is because it needs to be portable. I think we can just connect the netbook to a monitor and use a usb mouse if she doesn't like its screen size/touchpad.
