[Ubuntu Chicago] laptop search?

[George Lesica]

yeah, i was at microcenter a couple weeks ago and they probably had at
least 6 or 7 lappys in that price range, varying brands, and some of
them weren't even on sale at the time.

if you want to go refurb you can get a decent dell from geeks.com,
i've seen machines that had basically your specs for as low as 300. of
course with refurb lappys you never know how long the battery will
last...
