Looking for a Cheap Laptop.

[Guest]

Around March is my birthday and I need a new laptop. I got buy for years on an ASUS Vivobook with low specs. I would want to put one of these- http://www.amazon.com/Black2-Dual-Drive-2-5-WD1001X06XDTL/dp/B00GSJ9X4Qin it. I don't have a big budget at all, sub $500. It will be used for media usage while on the go and for school. It will be thrown in a backpack and used as an all around laptop.  What do you recommend.

I've got a Lenovo T420 as my daily driver with an SSD in it. It's great but there's no real dedicated GPU, unless you want a NVIDIA Optimus thing.

wait for brodwell(*typo) to launch it will improve pretty much all laptops and in theory should make them cheaper

If you really want it this cheap, this is what I would suggest.

Hi,

 

I would suggest Asus Transformer Book T100TA and HP Chromebook 11 .

I'd wait a bit to see how the pricing on the new Broadwell-powered Dell Inspiron 14 7000 Series are
