OT: buying a laptop

My wife just started grad school and I think we're going to pick up a laptop for her. She will not be carrying it around all day from class to class, mainly she'll be using it around the house. No games, no terribly sophisticated computing going on. Word processing, email, internet, etc. I'm thinking an entry level, medium sized machine would be fine.
The one I'm eyeballing is the Toshiba M105-S3041, which is going for $600 at Best Buy right now. Core Solo, 512MB, 80 gig, 14" widescreen, etc. Looks to be a screaming deal.
My question is (aside from does that machine or one like it sound good) what do you guys suggest regarding extended warranties, protection plans, that sort of thing. I know laptops can be prone to crapping out. I've got a 6 year old generic that's held up well, but I'm not sure how one will do in the hands of my wife ;) Any thoughts?
