I have no point for getting a powerful laptop, I already have a good desktop. I just want a laptop to look at porn, and check my e-mail when I'm not home or on the can.

Minimum requirements:
- 15" screen
- 512MB RAM
- Built in WiFi card
- Under $800

I don't care if it's used or new, as long as there are no dead pixels and it still works fine if it's used. Battery life isn't too big of an issue for me. As long as it lasts more than an hour, I'm set. 2 hours would be comfortable though. Any ideas?

If anyone is selling a laptop on here, that is about a year or two old, I might be interested. But I'd rather get a new one.

Adding the 512 MB RAM makes it about $662 before tax and shipping. This should come out to right below $800 and fits the requirements you were looking for.

Thanks guys, looks like my dad has access to the EPPBUY portion of the Dell site, for even more savings. So I'm probably going to spend a bit extra on a laptop with a Pentium M and a widescreen. I'll rock in at around $950. If any other deals pop up, please let me know though.
