Come in....

Reliability: Sony, Acer, and Gateway have worst reliability. Dell, Toshiba, and HP are at the same level as far as reliability as concern. MacBook and Lenovo have the best relibility.

Cost / Performance ration: Compared to Toshiba, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer has the best. Same price, they usually put higher CPU, memory, hard-drive, etc. But there is sacrifice.

Appearance: for a $500 one, don't consider this.

 

It seems to me you are looking for a laptop around $400, Correct?

Also consider this one

PlayForever says right. Go for a business grade if you don't mind spending couple of hundreds more. I personally use Lenovo ThinkPad. 

Also, try ebay.com. I always found great deals there.

Once you receive your laptop, remmeber to install and uninstall some softwares, and remember to make a recovery DVD.
