Default Help! Need To Buy A New Laptop

You guys have not failed me yet, so I now have another problem that needs fixing. For someone who is not geeky techy at all, I have two desktops at home and took the laptop to my coffee shop. The laptop died yesterday. Instead of trying to get it repaired, I think I'm better off buying a new one.

What kind should I get and where to get it? I need something to do the following:

- be the coffee shop/business computer and control the router that I am going to get soon
- a few emails here and there
- log onto the forums and do my share of moderation

Should I get the cheapie model at Costco? And what's this new fangled Windows 7? The now dead laptop was using XP and it worked ok.

Using my Palm Pre to do email is NOT a good thing. Almost went completely blind.
