laptop < $500

[Gomar]

Looking at laptop prices, HP always comes out on top as the best value of all. Even the lowly Acer and Asus.

These specs for $429:
2.2GHz Intel Core i3-2328M Dual-Core
4GB of DDR3 RAM
500GB 5400rpm Hard Drive
Integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000
15.6" HD BrightView LED-Backlit Display
1366 x 768 Native Resolution
SuperMulti DVD Burner
802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
Integrated Webcam, Microphone & Speakers
Windows 8 (64-bit)

Anyone seen better?
