Need help finding a laptop... (BUDGET)

BUDGET ($500)

I need help finding a great deal on a laptop. I cant seem to find that perfect deal.

Requirements
AT least:
15.6" size
3gb ddr3
320gb HD


I do prefer the intel chipset ( i core recommended )

This will be for school and low end - mid end gaming ( example : word and sims ). I also prefer a higher ram and HD size vs a nice video card.

Thanks for helping me GTP.


PS: beat my findings VVVV

Have you tried looking at websites that build custom PCs?
I live in the UK and bought a custom built laptop for £800. A laptop from a well known company with same specs would've cost me over £950...
I don't know any US websites, but I'm sure you could find some...

Most custom built laptops are for gaming and are expensive. Im just looking for a mid end laptop that isnt specific to gaming.

Look for companies that recondition laptops. Most reputable places that do that give a warrenty for them aswell.
