What is the best laptop I can get for $600.00 or less? I prefer windows vista over 7 or 8 and I will be using it for browsing, watching videos and movies, basic tasks and occasional gaming (Lego Games, Various Star Wars games, Spiderman 3) I am well aware that a gaming laptop is not going to be available at this price, however, I would like the best I can get for the money I have, although little. Thank you all so much!

Anything with an AMD APU A10 with dual channel memory. BUt new laptops will all comes with windows 8 so you better learn how to use it XD.

at low price, AMD laptop are better than intel laptop in gaming performances. I would recommend searching for a laptop with an AMD A10-5750M with 2 memory dimms (acer only have 1 soldered dimm).

2 memory dimms in dual channel will double this APU video bandwidth and will get you performance slightly better than a nvidia 630M.

If you are considering Intel keep this in mind.
- Actually, intel laptop haves heating problems (lots of people complains they burn themselves when touching keyboard), AMd doesn't

I bought myself an HP envy 15 with this APU. it was refurb but hey, it was 500$ and works really well. I think newegg.com still has some.
