Hello all,

I am in the market for a cheap to mid-level laptop for browsing, movies, general use, etc. There would be minimal gaming, although there could be some light gaming involved (nothing top end as far as graphics go).

I'm not looking to get the bare basic and am trying for something that's mid-level enough that it will have some staying power as the years go on.

There are a few that I'm looking at, although I am very much open to good alternatives:

I'm not really committed to any one brand. If it's a laptop that would lend itself readily to being upgraded to an SSD then that would be a bonus.

Thanks for your help!

I like this one best, looks killer, nice specs, good price:

The Toshiba is the only one available that you posted, but I'd stick to Intel CPUs (personal preference).

I also like these:
