Advice Sought on NoteBook Purchase

Hello! I am planning on purchasing a notebook computer. I was going to upgrade our #2 desktop, however, it's quite old, running Windows Flintstone Beta. , and I could really make use of the portability of a notebook.

I do a lot of research on the internet, watch videos of lectures and such, and some light word processing.

I'm considering the following recertified notebook for $299.99:

ASUS K52 Series K52F-BBR5 NoteBook Intel Pentium P6100(2.00GHz) 15.6" 3GB Memory DDR3 1066 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel HD Graphics

Also, I'm not clear on what I will need for accessory items.

"Rosewill RNX-EasyN400 Wireless-N Broadband Router (1T1R) IEEE 802.11b/g/n Up to 150Mbps Data Rates/ WPA Personal and Enterprise, WPA2, 64 & 128 bit WEP, PSK, TKIP, AES, WPS Security with 2 dBi fixed Antenna" (would like to support the Rosewill brand if possible)

and a "dongle" ??

One last thing, will Windows XP and Windows 7 communicate, as far as syncing?

Thanks in advance for any help, opinions, caveats, etc. Much appreciated.

Thank you! That's something I would never have thought of. Have a great day.

Amiga1200,

Thanks so much! I didn't think I could afford a Lenovo at present, but I will most certainly look into that this evening. Great information, it is much appreciated.

btw: I'm rather new here as well. I found out, by accident, that the various word game posts count toward your 50 post linking privilege, and will speed things up for you.
