    I just got this one - http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Toshi...oductDetail.do

    I love it (Awesome processor, good RAM, OK HDD), but the GFX card bites (Along with just 2 USB ports, even though it says 3), so if you want to game with it it might not be a great choice.

    EDIT: It's also a 13.3 inch and really light

    EDIT2: The first one Buckley posted seems really nice too, maybe a bit big.

    Mhm Buckley, the Acer looks nice, but very bulky, and it is still kind of "meh" with the price :/ And good <500 dollar laptops?

    The exact same one? What's so bad about it? Sure I've only had it for a day but it's been flawless (except for graphics -_-) so far.

    EDIT: Did you mean mine or the other one?

    Hy71194, I just bought a really good deal laptop, an amazing deal i think. Its an acer. It was 400 dollars.

    Dont rush out and buy any laptop thats cheap. Check out slickdeals.net every day and they have really good deals on laptops every now and then. Go to bestbuy.com laptops- internet and email. And its the 399.99 one.. Should be the first one is what i have, and i love it.

    Tell the model number please?

    Yeah, and something else, I'd prefer a laptop with a 'nipple' thing. Ya know, the thing between the G, B, and H keys?

    The biggest problem (from my point of view) is that you are buying a LAPTOP... go out there and buy a desktop. They are a lot harder to brake on accident, they are more reliable, better price for better equipment, and they last longer. ^^ If you aren't convinced then... well... well, then you are just a hopeless case from my point of view xP

    Wtf is the "nipple" you are all talking about? I honestly don't know (not a fan of laptops)

    If you hurry and nag before it's (holiday season) over get ALIENWARE lol..then again prbly out of ur pricerange, but they offer fair (in my opinion) financial aid, so if u got a job, which im assuming you do, you could pay it off.. before you get interest...

    So you don't have the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD? Or is that good (I'm a computer noob )?
