Laptops 'bang for buck' $700 budget for 2012
With such a variety of to choose from, I need some laptop guru help!
Leaving the critera pretty open on this, however:
The budget must not exceed $700.
Primary use would be to study (MS office & internet)
I also would play music/movies so a large HDD would be great.
Something from this centry, I5/I3 perhaps?
Big thanks!!

Got a email today stating this laptop goes on sale tomorrow only for $499.00 with a 100 bucks rebate. The email didn't identify the laptop but am pretty sure this is the one. All the specs match up. One hell of a deal.
Just ordered mine. 50 dollar instant rebate, total is $449 with 50 bucks rebate. i5 laptop for 399 is pretty good deal. BTW, 3rd gen i5.
