I'm a huge fan of Dell computers, their new laptops start at $500, but you can usually find a quality refurb for less here:

I have a friend that is very inexperienced with computers but would like to get a laptop. He wants to spend $400. I know nothing about laptops(I prefer the power of a desktop). I would like to order online. Could anyone recommend a good beginners laptop for this price range? It will be used for web and word processing, so it doesn't need the muscle to play games. A larger screen would be better, but I understand we may be limited in this price range. A burner would be nice, but is not a requirement. I would also like it to be able to play dvds out of the box. Built in wifi access would be nice as well. Thanks for any help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:260354 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
