I don't think you can get a good laptop for less than 600 when you throw in an extra battery/a longer lasting battery and a decent warranty. If it really only needs to be for web browsing and Word, maybe. Possibly one of these, but that price is without the warranty or a few upgrades that would make it a decent system. Really, with Dual Core processors the main thing on the market now and Quad Cores on the way, you're going to be buying outdated technology at that price.
