Welcome to Miami. Since you are on a budget, if you are not hung up on the laptop being new, try www.intechraoutlet.com They sell refurbished desktop pc's and laptop's at very reasonable prices. I was referred to them by a co-worker who bought several desktops from them and was very happy with his purchases. I recently bought an HP/Compaq DC5000 with a P4 and 2 gigs of ram for $120. The pc is in great shape and works flawlessly (I use it to run a few Windblows apps I can't give up just yet). I have not personally purchased a laptop from them (yet), but have heard great things about the laptops as well. The pc's and laptop's come from corporations who are swapping out all their old pc's for new. They are all inspected and tested prior to resell. You could get an IBM T42 for under $300...
