It's extremely similar to the one Sunshine posted, you do get an 11.6 screen size with a pretty full sized keyboard and a screen on which you can actually read stuff. Battery lasts you up to 7 hours (say more like 6 for real usage), you get 3GB of ram and 250GB HDD which is very good. And of course, since it comes pre-loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium, you get a free copy of Windows 7 as well.
I've been looking around a bit to compare. I actually found that Gateway netbook at Walmart for $400 instead of $500 at futur shop but neither place told me I would be able to get windows 7 although it's preloaded with Vista. All the other netbooks had windows XP.
The Acer seemed interesting. It came in two sizes but the smaller one seemed too small. The slightly bigger one (which I believe is the one Sunshine was talking about) was only 20 extra dollars.

I don't need it for anything crazy. Just simple stuff. I nearly only use the internet and word
I'm still going to look around keeping in mind what all of you have told me. Thanks again
