I'm looking for a nice college student laptop at a reasonable and affordable price ($500-$600).. It doesn't need all the glitz and glamour.. but I'd like to be able to have enough memory for plenty of files.

You'd be able to find a "glitzy" laptop on EBaY for the price range you are in there are many potential computers you can get with different configerations, but if the bare basics start at like 50$ on ebay imagine what you can get with 600$!!

For 500-600 dollars? Hmmm...You could probably get an old Dell Inspiron. The inspiron B130 is 450 dollars. GO FOR IT!

You said you want memory for plenty of files, you actually want a large hard drive. But storage is cheap, you call always buy an external hard drive to add on when you need it.
It is important to get your terminology straight. Go for lots of memory, I would thinkn 512 would be minimum. a gig recommended.

u can get a futjisu mini laptop.

u can take it anywhere.
It has a a pen that u can use to writ on it.
so pretty much it is a tablet pc and a lap top

They could get an external drive cheaply enough to hold all their files, so get the one in your range that they "get to choose", with an external drive.

Amazon.com has a few.

this one has 60Ghd for 599.00
Dell.com sometimes has good specials for just the basic and you can just do a memory upgrade. Every thursday they update there specials.

http://outlet.dell.com has some great deals (but this time of year, their main site also tends to have good deals). Don't buy one used (they tend to be rip-offs).
If you buy anything from tigerdirect, you'll be getting spam until you change your email address.
