best laptop under $400

[chantalasaurus]

I want a laptop under $400. If it's a bit more than 400, I'm okay with that, but if it's closer to 500, or more than 500, I'm not down.

I just want a good, durable laptop that will last me a few years. I want it to have a decent battery life, (at least 4 hours), and a decent sound quality.

I'm just looking for something that I can skype on (w/ webcam), write with, edit multimedia stuff (photoshop, sony vegas, illustrator), play games, and use the internet. I'm not particular on brands, however, I'd prefer a brand that isn't notorious for screwing people over. I'm not a fan of those mini laptops, but if you think that one of those will be best, I'd be open to it.

Hi

For that budget, you wont get much choice...almost anything you buy will be similar....

And forget 4 hours for movies or games...think more like 2 hours if you are lucky....

All the best Brett
