if you need the basics, try and see if the dell outlet has something with very few features. im sure they have bare bones computers there. they just have to. its intentional for those who want to "build up"

still, newegg or just save up

Check ebay, there are tons of really good deals there. There are several ebay stores available throught the site with people who have lots of feedback and you know can trust to get a great deal. Be smart though!

thats not from the dell outlet center- im telling you search through them but snag it quickly! if you dont someone will snatch it from you all in the blink of an eye

and ebay isnt a bad idea either. just buyer beware and read the fine print- make sure you go through paypal too

If you need a laptop, keep saving. 2GB of ram to run vista will cost you a 1/3 of your budget

If you can get a desktop.... There are REALLY good deals out there.

Uh-o, I hope this doesn't spring another Mac/PC argument

But i agree, for a $400 laptop XP would be better. I don't think a $400 laptop is going to have the graphics card or Highspeed ram to run Vista very well.

XP is better right now due to vista's current software compatibility issues (which is normal).

as for macs... all i can say is mac'n'trash.
