Which laptop do you like for $800 or so?

I saw this earlier--reasonably up-to-date and has discrete graphics:

The reviews on cnet.com and notebookreview.com are worth a look. I don't own one and I'm not currently in the market for one.

Thanks everyone! I'm still not sure what I want but you have shown me that I can do this much more inexpensively than I though! That is a good thing! I'm going to try to stay under 500$,

Mine is on it's way

Dell outlet - my fourth purchase from them over the years - same warranty as new- I wanted as powerful as possible with largest memory at cheapest price, and don't do gaming -so standard graphics was OK, AMD processor is cheaper, works for me. you may have to look several times as items disappear quickly. if you see one you like you can put it in your cart 15 min. while you research for better deals

found this on Twitter when I googled 15% discount - deal should still work
