Which Toshiba Laptop?

I have a choice of three, limited to where I can buy from due to the source of finance.
They are the L100-200 Celeron, L100-170 Celeron or the L100-170 Satellite
All have a very similar spec (which I'll be honest I don't entirely understand, so have listed below), but the main differences seem to be the screen type and processor (listed in same order as model numbers).
Intel Celeron M-380 / Intel Celeron M360 (1.4Ghz) / Intel Celeron M 360 (1.4 GHz) Processor.
512mb DDR2 RAM.
40Gb hard disk drive.
15in flat screen display / 15ins. TFT Display / 15-in XGA TFT.
DVD Supermulti with dual layer.
Integrated WiFi 802.11b/g.
ATI Radeon Xpress 200m Graphics, 128Mb UMA.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition,
Microsoft Works 8.0 and
Office trial.
The laptop is needed only for wordprocessing and some surfing on the whole, and needs to be able to burn discs. However, it does need to be reasonable lightweight, whilst still having a good keyboard and is user-friendly.
Any recommendations?

Probably not the best prices where I'm buying from as it's a catalogue (Kays), but I'll be funding with a very large chunk of commission and have an account so I'll earn commission on the balance, which makes it work
In the catalogue, these three vary between £499 and £599 DFW Nerd no. 884 - Proud to [strike]be dealing with[/strike] have dealt with my debts0 -
Choose the one with most memory and fastest processor! The Celeron M380 version runs at 1.6ghz!0

Thank you Cat - the M380 is the cheapest of the three - obviously paying for monitor upgrades on the others then.DFW Nerd no. 884 - Proud to [strike]be dealing with[/strike] have dealt with my debts0
