Laptops these days are getting so fast its ridiculous. My suggestion is keeping waiting on slickdeals and nab whatever is in your price range. If you don't like it you can sell it to some bloke for more than you paid.

Oh and here's a really good suggestion. When you buy a laptop, make sure you wipe the HD and install any 'normal' copy of windows on it. The software they ship with computers these days is getting progressively worse.

its kind of hard to follow on there since its not just laptops...but ill take a look at it.

and does that mean that i will need to buy a windows disk? because i have XP but ive used the disk already for this computer. or can i just use the windows that comes on the HDD already?

sooo im going to get a laptop for college but i just cant seem to find the patience to wait until the summer so im thinking of getting one now since my birthday is coming up.  Im basically looking for the best bang for your buck laptop around $500.  Im not trying to push $600 because im most likely going to replace the usual 5400 rpm HDD with a 7200 rpm one.  ummm and yea, i probably wont do too much gaming but good integrated video or a card would be nice.  and i think anything with a core i3 350M or 370M is around my range because thats what ive been aiming for.  also a good webcam will be very handy...i guess at least a 1.3 MP.  sooo yea any suggestions?

I found this one on newegg:
