In the $500-$800 range what brand would you buy.

Thanks.

Should be laptops in the $600-800 range sorted from best to worst review.

I usually trust CNET's opinion.

Whatever you do, make sure you get at least 2 GB of RAM.

Definitely get the 2 gb of ram. If you have Vista OS you are gonna need every last drop of it.
