I rule the midnight air, the destroyer, die by my hand, I am Creeping Death.

Okay, so I am looking for a new laptop for around $450 or under. I need it for college and general use, you know like using Microsoft Office, general browsing, etc. Maybe some games and programs such as adobe fireworks, dreamweaver, etc.

Basically I want:

4 GB Ram
500 GB DDR3 Hard Drive
Decent processor, dual core with at least 2.1 GHz speed and 1MB cache size, more is always better
DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive
Decent audio, speakers, graphics card, HDMI output, webcam, random stuff like that. I would like a nice keyboard and separate number pad if possible too...
etc. whatever else you might recommend

I want a good brand like Lenovo, ASUS, Samsung, Toshiba maybe, etc. not ACer, HP, Gateway, etc.

I pretty much have to settle on one of these, but I want to know if there are other options and I would really love if anyone can tell me anything more about these or something...

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

DDR3 is for RAM, not HDDs

None of those brands are any better than the others. It's all made the same.

sorry didn't mean to put that over there *lying*

and well ACer and HP sucks from personal experience, they crap out within months, I'd rather go with a better brand

I understand that these companies just put together other companies products into one product, asus for motherboards intel/amd processors etc.

but still....

brand loyalty

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Sort by price, low to high. Or, filter the list by features/components on the left.

The inventory is constantly changing, depending on what devices get returned to the factory. They are refurbs, scratch-and-dents, returns, leased, etc. but come with a full factory warranty and if you can time it right (once a single item is bought, it's gone), you can save a bundle.
