I want a laptop for about $500-$700 including tax, I know that a very low price, I want 30g minimum hard drive and 512mb of memory, those are standard things that I need plus a cd writer with a dvd rom.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Try to look at Toshiba for quality. Pass on Dell laptops.
You might check http://www.tigerdirect.com and http://www.newegg.com for their best deals. But I think that you are pushing your luck for all that stuff at that price range. Good luck

< there is the dell inspirion b130 at $ 500 - 550 starting, but i do not recommend it, the inspirion is way too superior. buy something that u enjoy working with, plus lasting >
>> mind you, this is a quality product, i'm using a similar dell !
snaps, music, dvd flicks without even booting pc/windows, notice external console / buttons
lcd wide screen is great, but u can make it even greater by paying 4 additional trulife, costs u an extra $ 20
> tell u frankly mate, just go ahead and enjoy it !
maximum value 4 money !
< and ya, a few do blow out ... lol >

Well that's a really hard thing to do. What I can suggest is to look at online stores (newegg, etc.).
Dell has one for 649 w/o tax (Inspiron 1300 Basic Version)
http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/nb_basic?c=ca&cs=CADHS1&l=en&s=dhs
-1.6 Celeron
-512MB RAM
-80GB HD
- CD/DVD-Burner
I would also just go and look in flyers like best buy and staples or something. Acer, Compaq, HP, etc you'll find in those stores.
