new laptop purchase

Haven't shopped for laptops (win 7 with min 4gig ram) for several
years now so before I scour the net, any good Dell laptops to consider
for the wife? Nothing fancy in useage. I'm looking in the approx
$500 or less range. Prefer Dells to others tho. Any recommended
sites beside Amazon, Newegg and Dell? I checked Dell's outlet and
wasn't impressed. I would consider Ebay under certain restrictions.

You should be able to get an i3 4Gb Inspiron 15R for $400 or less. From Dell that is.

Walmart Dell http://www.walmart.com/ip/Dell-Diamo...337750&veh=cse

I buy from the Dell small business outlet and find
pretty good machines there.

Latitude 6400/6500 seem to have a 3yr warranty.

Make up a small business name, if you don't have
one. For some reason they always want it.

I got this $400 Dell for my inlaws. I also prefer Dells. Nothing fancy,
but it's fast and so far reliable for email/browsing, etc. I bought it
at the BestBuy store. I almost bought one for myself as an extra. Good
luck.

After shopping around on line, I decided to not make a big project out
of it and went to BB to buy this laptop. Like you said nothing fancy
but it works. It's for my wife so it's plenty good enough for her
needs. Thank you Boris.
