It certainly looks good. The processor inside is pretty decent for a lower end laptop. I did a little more searching but really couldn't find anything to match it. If you somehow acquire the funds to afford the one I recommended, I still suggest you go for that but if not this Toshiba model is still a very nice and very close runner up.

Just at the end of your price range but Lenovo makes some great laptops in my opinion. 4 GB of memory is actually standard nowadays and is probably what allowed your previous Toshiba laptop to have such potential multitasking performance. This has 5 hours of battery life, a decent CPU for somewhat fast performance in applications and some very basic video editing (you're not going to do any high performance video editing for a laptop in that price range, unfortunately), 500 GB of hard drive space, a 1366x768 resolution, and still has an optical drive and is quite portable, just in case.

However, if you think this is too close to the far end of your price range, I'll search for another.

Hi Deus,
Thanks so much for answering!
This laptop looks good, but sadly it is too close to my end price range. Do you have any other suggestions for laptops that are a little cheaper. Is this one good? http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/859394/Toshiba-Satellite-C55-A5282-Laptop-Computer/
