Entry level Dell laptops are okay for that use. The quality isn't that great, so extend your warranty.

You may want to look at the Inspiron 600m -- Dell Small Business seems to be offering it as an entry-level laptop at this point. I've seen it for under $500 on occasion. It's based on the Dell Latitude line, which is generally more reliable than their other Inspirons.

Thanks everyone , what do you think of the refurbished laptops on e-bay, for the same price you can get more memory and better proccessor, is it a real gamble?

Yes, that's a gamble. The only refurbed/used laptops I'll buy are Thinkpads direct from IBM.
