Well, I got a friend that asked me about a laptop today, he is looking for a good one for around $400, he won't be using it for gaming, mainly internet surfing and photo browsing. He DID tell me he needed a CD/DVD drive, so netbooks are out of the question.
I told him that he would want to look for one with Windows 7, 2GB or more RAM, and an Intel Core 2 Duo or Atom/ AMD Athlon II or better. Do any of you guys know a laptop in that price range that would fit that picture? Or something that would work good enough?
