half those laptops have either dead links or not. I suggest saving atleast up to 700. Look at HP laptops at costco.

do you think it would be worth just saving up for this?

go i5 or i7, I hate i3

the HP with the AMD processor sucks battery life and runs super hot

The Toshiba I didn't even look at, bust most Toshibas I looked at so far felt very cheap / the keybaord also sucked

There's a Gateway at my BestBuy, it's 15" core i3 4GB of ram and a 500GB HDD for ~550. if I stop by today I'll take a pic and get th name. The track pad also lights up, pretty nice looking laptop
