Sister needs a lappy for grad school

[footballstevo75]

So her old Acer is all worn out and "slow" due to improper care. (offered fixing it up, she wants a new one anyways) So the plan is to buy a new laptop before this fall so I can get all the bloatware off. She justs wants to write papers check email, facebook, no gaming just normal everyday stuff.
I have this so far-

She only wants to spend about $750 so would this run vista alright? Also, what can be done to prevent it slowing down, i.e. what software should be removed from the start?

Thanks.

yup. that's perfect for her needs and vista will run fine on it.

I found this for $750. It's a bit more powerful and even comes with a webcam.

Here's another good option for $750. I think this is probably the best pick.

And remove those unnecessary auto-start software.

Any of these would be better:
