So my roommate has becoming annoying and writing papers is commonplace now this semester. I was wondering if anyone had some suggestion for a decent ~$500 laptop that would do email/internet and office apps well, with good battery life (enough for a DVD) a plus. I've heard both good and bad about the dells and toshibas, so i may be willing to go as much as ~$1500 depending on my earnings and credit (plus it probably only be at Circuit City 
) If anyone has some good recommendations i'd appreciate it, thanks.
