Look no further: While supplies last, Best Buy has the HP 2000-416dx 15.6-inch laptop for $299.99 shipped (not including sales tax). Surprisingly, it's new, not refurbished.
Not to gush, but that is just an amazing price. Granted, the HP won't win any speed awards (or, for that matter, design awards), but it covers all the computing bases well enough.
To wit: it comes with a dual-core AMD E-300 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive. The 15.6-inch screen has a native resolution of 1,366 by 768 pixels--a bit low, perhaps, but certainly sufficient for everyday stuff.
The system also comes with three USB ports, a DVD burner, Bluetooth, a media reader, a Webcam, and Windows 7 Home Premium. In other words, all the usual accoutrements.
