URGENT - Pls help...pls recommend - laptop purchase
**********************************************
I am in the SF Bay Area, California.

I cannot wait for more than a week or so for delivery etc.
Windows laptop preferably ( not mac)
I need your recommendations...
My main requirements are as follows:

- as fast as poss ( I hate it when it hangs or runs slowly)
- as lightweight as poss
The following are the main programs I use
****************************************************
- gmail, yahoo mail etc
- MS Word or Notepad
- MS Outlook
Typically I have about 6 to 7 Mozilla/ Firefox pages open and MS
Outlook and Word or Notepad open - all day - open all at once- at any
point in time.
So I use quite a bit of resources.
My Budget is as follows:
******************************
prefer around US $1000
But could go as high as US $1300 or so

Since I am not a techie, I would prefer a very simple plug and play
