This Toshiba 17 inch laptop with a 250 GB drive, and Vista Home Premium, and 3 Gigabytes of memory is on sale at Computergeeks.com for under $400. It has a Celeron processor and, for another $119, you can upgrade it to Windows 7. Under $500 and a lot of computer for the money, even if it is refurbished.

Toshiba Satellite L505-S5993
I received this laptop on december 2, and I have been on it non-stop. I love it. My favorite game (the sims 3) runs smoothly. And I love the wi-fi I wish I could give it 10 stars
