Hi,
For the past month, I've been using the Acer 300 as my main machine. It is
easily fast enough to run Word, Excel, Outlook, etc. Also, it's usually
quiet. The fan only runs when the CPU is under load. Finally you can
expand the ram to 2 Gb if you need to.

The only thing I would suggest upgrading out of the box is the hard disk
unless you can live with 40GB.
