Looking for a laptop..

I've been the market for a low priced laptop for a few months now, and I can't seem to find anything. I have budget between $500 and $700, and I need a 15" display. Any suggestions?

What do you think of this:

Thanks in advance!

For a laptop, I'd recommend sticking with a Dell. You can find great deals HERE at the Dell Outlet Center. Grab a refurb. I believe they come with a full warranty as well.

Although this is at the top of your budget, you won't be able to find any other laptop with more bang for the buck than this acer laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834115412

15 inch, Core 2 Duo (faster and has better battery life than AMD), Dedicated Graphics Card, HD-DVD (not really that great anymore since HD-DVD lost out to Blu-Ray, but will still work with normal DVD, and can burn them too), 250GB HD, 1GB Ram, and Vista Premium.
