You could try asking speedy in his CC threads. He's listed sales on laptops before upon request.

I'm in the same situation and have never owned a laptop, therefore I can claim I know very little about them. I would like to find a cheap one just to do the basics so I can use it for school, mainly for the portabiltity of checking email and not having to relie on the campus computers for typing up papers.

I do know that Windows Vista requires at least 1 GB of RAM. I don't quite understand why laptop companies keep offering only 1/2 GB for the standard model, forcing the average buyer to spend an additional amount of money on 1/2 GB or more just to run efficiently. I have read a lot of customer reviews and all the complaints are about how Vista is so slow without that memory upgrade.

I wish you could just go with Windows XP instead and not have to buy it separately, while at an actual Bestbuy or Circuit City store. Sorry, for my lack of actual help.

Windows Vista Basic requires 512 MB of ram, the other versions require 1 GB of ram. If you're looking for a basic laptop to just browse online and type papers buy an older laptop. I have this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-ThinkPad-A2...yZ140083QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

and only paid about $170 for it... works great for internet, word, low powered games for my Mother.
