Laptop sugestions (final version)

I need a laptop for college. I need it to be able to store a lot of data and also NOT HAVE THE ANNOYING NEW MICROSOFT OFFICE because I cannot understand how the new one works, I prefere office 2003. I would want Windows XP. We have a disk of that but it too might have been infected by the winiguard virus when we re-installed our OS. I also want it to be able to support games like Portal and also have Wi-Fi. Any help would be great.

Dell INSIPRON 1545.

I don't know much about viruses since I never have to deal with them on Linux, but CD-ROMs are read-only media, so viruses can't infect them. Assuming it's an official CD and not a CD-R you burned from some suspicious ISO you found on the web, it should be safe to use.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
