I am looking for an inexpensive laptop, something to replace my desktop for something requiring less space. I don't do anything fancy with it, just surf, pay bills etc...I am looking for at least a
80G hard drive
duo core processor (preferably)
1 G memory (but I can add later if I need to)
Processor speed is not important 1.6 is fine
and CD DVD burner
I have seen compaq, acer and toshiba that are between 480-700 (with these features) which is where I'd like to stay. However I have no experience with these models, which is better?
Mostly it will stay at home and gaming is not important, we are keeping the desktops they are just being moved to to another location.

If your buying a laptop HP/Compaq and Toshiba make the best budget laptops...you can find them on sale in a circuit city or best buy flyer.
as for upgrading the memory you don't want to do that at all that will cost you alot... one all these new note books have vista on them and it runs extremely slow on 512mb of memory you need 1gb. And the reason you don't want to upgrade is since they have only 2 slots of memory both of them are filled with half of what you buy...say u get a notebook with 512mb, it is actually two 256chips... so to go to 1gig you will need to buy two $100 512mb sticks taking a cheap 600 notebook to a 800 dollar notebook with a slower processor then what you would have got if you got a $800 dollar note book that had 1gig of memory to start
I've worked at circuit city and they don't sell open box notebooks any more, since you can buy a new one for the price they can sell it for. Two buying an open box notebook is buying a paperweight after 6months. Cuz the manufactures will blow you off all the time and it wont get fixed.

Go to Circuit City, Best buy, Staples and ask what they have for open box buys. Often these are returns or display models and will be 50% or more off the retail price, they come with the origional warranty as well. You may need to reload the software or replace an accessory or 2.

the respond interior of reason elementary decide for the single with the final mix of processor power and pictures card punch. see you later because it has a minimum of 2gb of ram the HD length, show screen length etc are extra or much less irrelevant for gaming and after all a gaming computer consistently has adequate HD area and a good show screen. ultimate gaming overall performance has a tendency to return from nvidia based pictures. you would be ultimate of with 512mb or 1gb committed pictures reminiscence. Intel based pictures chipsets are rubbish for gaming. reliable good fortune

Just to clear something up, the previous user posted something about "$100 per 512MB sticks."
Dude, you can get 1GB sticks (desktop or laptop), for less than $90.
No idea where you've been getting your sticks from. But you're giving totally misleading information.
