I'd say those three vendors sound good for you. If the price is right, you should be more than happy.

Last question (I promise) - I guess no one bundles them with Office which is what we'd prefer and the wireless LAN isn't always a common feature - my apologies, just trying to make a semi-educated choice.
Like basswipe said, go with OpenOffice (even though I distrust those Linux non-conformists). You can use the $200 you'll save not buying Windows Office to put towards a better computer. Also, any laptop worth it's weight in salt should have a wireless LAN included. If it doesn't have one, move on.
