Looking for a laptop contained by the 500-600 variety.. lately for everyday computing...what do u guys suggest?

Answer:

off-colour give you some criteria :

you should be looking for :

CPU: intel celeron (1.00- 1.5 ghz)

RAM: 128-256 MB ddr

CDR drive ( not writer or dvd rw)

Screen: 15 not more.

A strange one with this budget can be found but i wouldnt know perchance you gonna have to pay cheque a hundred more try looking for a Toshiba and concentrate on the Satellite edition , thats my suggestion 4 u .
A Dell...mine works great
