So, please: I just want this laptop to work (I am no using a six year old Sony Vaio with faded LETTERS on keyboard and it works just fine, but I want to purchase another for the book), and I want it fast and reliable. I have NO DOUBT that someone here will be able to direct me. I'd be eternally grateful. THANK YOU.

These are gaming machines so I anticipate all requirements and have read reviews, but Office is not installed (or so it appears). I do have the CD so this shouldn't be a problem, right?

You are welcome and good luck with what ever you decide.
One tip for you, a higher speed HDD will compliment the speed of the processor, look for 7200rpm HDDs as opposed to 5400rpm.

I don't need a gaming machine, these do not come equipped with software necessary for word processing. I need a machine that is fast, reliable, can hold several manuscripts. I think there must be one such that isn't geared toward gaming. ???

The laptops suggested are fit for whatever purpose you see fit to use them for, the graphics chips are the one thing over and above what you require for word processing but that is normal for top of the range laptops.
As for the word processing software I have yet to see anything other than trial versions (bloatware) pre-installed, bundling MS Office 2010 is going to add a couple of hundred bucks to the price of the laptop, they just wouldn`t sell.

I have a Office 97 CD, I actually prefer it to newer edditions. I imagine that will install all the word processing I need. Will it install with Windows version on this laptop?
