cheapest laptop with certain specs.

Hey guys! I'm going to university this coming year part-time while I am still at high school. Both university and high school will be part-time, so I will have time between classes where I need to get stuff done. I currently own a desktop and a quite old windows tablet, which is not really suitable for typing, which will be important for me. I don't need power, I've got my desktop for that, but I am not content with trash performance either. The problem is that I consider this a necessary evil. I don't want one, but I don't see a way out. I want to spend as little as possible on this. I want at least an AMD A4 or Intel Pentium for the laptop. I won't do with anything less really, the "E" series and celeron won't do. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it. I live in Canada as well, so please only like Canadian sites. Thanks in advance!

Those specs take you all the way down into the sub $300 range. Sounds like you are looking for any Windows capable laptop. If your tablet is still somewhat capable why not get a wireless USB or bluetooth keyboard?

(speaking of keyboard my work laptop could sure use a new one.. so many typos...)(sonnofa, another one...)

I am, except for my CPU requirement! My tablet is an exopc with a single core Atom CPU, a screen whose brightness is messed up on battery and that is impossible to prop up on a table or something like that. I would love to keep using it, but the fact it doesn't stand up on a table is really annoying as well. Thanks for the replay btw! And I'd appreciate any links to laptops if you have them

Wander into your nearest electronics store. Aside from Atom and AMD E-series processors, practically any laptop meets your requirements. And I think you would be surprised by the performance of some of the Atom processors now.

$320 pentium, http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231022

$450 i3, http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230922

I know, Atoms not bad, but I'd prefer to stay away. I'd also prefer AMD A4. Do you know if there's anything under $300? Thanks for the links, I'll see if other stuff comes up too, I was looking under $300 if possible!

I'd go with this Gateway NE52204u http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPZL9C6/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00CPZL9C6&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20

Thanks, it looks great. I don't mind the kabini quad core either! Only problem is, is that it is only available in the US. I am in Canada and I need one through a Canadian site. Is there anything similar in Canada?
