Default Looking for new laptop

Since my stupidly expensive macbook pro died the other day...I tore it open today , more on it later... I'll be in the market for a new laptop soon.

I'd like to find something in the $500 - $700 range. Maybe a refurbished one. The cheaper the better. Something portable, durable, and preferably without much pre-installed bloatware. I will be traveling with it quite a bit and I like to game but don't need it to be the greatest... a GPU equivalent to the 8600m or better would be sufficient. Also, a 15" screen or even smaller if possible.

That Asus G50 is over budget but a good recommendation if the budget can stretch. DeLL Outlet is another option. $500 is a little low for what you ask. Not impossible but hard.
