I need something around the $400 range, doesn't have to be new, or the most current model of any brand
It'll be used primarily for on-the-go writing, but I'd like to be able to:
run photoshop (or a similar program) reasonably well on some light-duty layout-type stuff
rip DVDs in the background while I use my desktop for other things
run some games, older rts stuff, the upcoming battlefield heroes - along those lines
run audacity okay so I can do some voice recording
it won't be used that often, i just need a cheap all-purpose-jack-of-all-trades-but-master-of-none type laptop

Hit up CraigsList for your area?

I don't really know what I need, specs-wise
I am not savvy on mobile tech

It's new and only $450. You'd probably want to add a gig of ram.

I'm buying a laptop soon. I'm not going to spend much, but it is going to have to have at least a T5450 and 2 GB of ram, and be less bulky than the one I linked to.

that looks decent from what little i understand about laptops, too bad that's the on-sale price
it's gonna be a month or so before i get the money together, i'm just fishing for info now
this is sort of an extraneous expense for me (i don't need it for business, just personal bullshittery), so i'm selling some old stuff on ebay to justify/balance out the cost - if i had to spend realbucks, i probably wouldn't get a laptop
maybe it'll go on sale again soon
