I am looking to get a cheap laptop. Something that can watch videos, handle music, and things like that. No gaming though. Any suggestions?

check best buy for asus laptops, if you want to go cheaper, acer...just be careful to get as much ram in the system as you can before you leave the store. i bought an asus that won't take a memory upgrade and asus tech support is useful as teets on a boar hog, almost as smart too.

Dell Refurbished website. Outstanding deals on there,if you don't mind refurb or scratch-n-dent. Both kids have i3 or i5 dells with 8 gigs ram, blah blah for under $350 each. :rock

Cheap laptops tend to become not so cheap when they break down every two years. My wife has chewed through at least 5 laptops already, now we're running a model which is 4 times more expensive. Let's see if even that's going to last. If not I'm going to force her to go desktop instead.

Our entire sales force was issued Dell laptops.. Very few issues (mostly due to the user's mishandling) and they get new ones every two years. A refurb is a great buy, and these are not low-end machines.

Oh and beware of any 'deals' on leased computers which were prematurely ended. Often they're a bad batch of computers that were terminated due to high failure rates. I remember having a 'great' deal on Toshiba laptops that were released after only 1 year of lease - our customer bought 6 of them and none of them lasted past 5 months.
