What I'm looking at right now is this: Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop Details
What I'm looking for is something to be able to use at school, run Photoshop, and possibly a game or two, but not WOW. Maybe SC2 when it comes out but I plan on putting SC and WC3. I need something less than 500 if at all possible.
This summer I'm moving out on my own with my (follow the relationship) girlfriend's best friends boyfriend. It's 400 for rent (wireless, cable, utilities, all for 400) in Greenville, NC (right next to ECU). I need something cheap but can run the above mentioned programs flawlessly.
I don't care about having something insanely fast or all the plug ins and extras of Vista, holding lots of music/photos (though I will have a nice sized iTunes playlist)
Most of my memory will be Photoshop related (brushes, pictures, crap like that)
So-if my above suggestion for a Laptop isn't any good, could I possibly get some hints? (I don't trust Ebay)
