Default Best laptop for $700
My sister is looking to get a laptop before she starts college this fall and she needs a bit of help getting a laptop. She has no idea what to look for to be completely honest. I know a good deal, but I'm not up on the latest laptop processors, so I'm not really sure what to look for as far as that goes. I know everything else just fine. I've been checking out some Dells, HP, Toshiba, Acer.. all the usual brands. I've found some good Dells, but I thought I'd come here and see if anyone has any input. Just keep in mind, the max price must be $700, lower is of course all right.
Thanks for any help!

I'm also a little late here (I was playing COD4), but I second the idea of getting a Dell, I have a Inspiron 1525 myself, great laptop aside from the integrated GFX.
