    Where can I get a good laptop for a good price?

    Im talkin about $500.-$750.

    I hate dell, their customer service sucks. I can't understand a word they say.

    woudln't be a great laptop for that price. Dell is one of the cheaper $ manufactors. HP makes ok laptops now that they have absorbed compaq. I'd probably recommend you take a trip to Sams or costmart if you have em where you live. They usually have some good cheap off brand laptops. I personally don't like sony viao but i have heard they are on the $ side.

    ebay... If you dont mind getting something used, search www.craigslist.com in your area. Killer deals all the time there.

    It might be a litle hard to find a "new" laptop for under a G with those specs.
    Did you have preference in monitor size?

    Any reason why you don't want and AMD chip? Athlon 64 chips are pretty nice.

    This is what I could find:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834110189

    With these you can upgrade to 1 gig of ram for around 100 bucks:
