    I would just be using laptop for surfing internet and playing poker.

    1. Sony Vaio: http://www.americantv.com/itemDetail...Q9NjAwMg%3D%3D

    14" Core i3-350M, 4G RAM & 320GB Hard Drive......
    price: $719 but my friend works there and could get me 25% discount : $539

    2. Dell Inspiron: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+I...4151&cp=1&lp=1

    Intel® Core™ i5 Processor / 14" Display / 4GB Memory / 500GB HD price: $630

    3. Samsung R580: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+...235&st=samsung r580&cp=1&lp=1

    Samsung - Factory-Refurbished Laptop / Intel® Core™ i3 Processor / 15.6" Display / 4GB Memory / 500GB Hard Drive
    price: $530

    Says sold out, so may not be an option. I would still like to know where this ranks compared to the others, though.

    Any insight of other laptops in the $750 & below range or rankings of the 3 listed would be appreciated.

    Dell all day, I am on my third one since 2004, they have amazing customer service and the prices are really good now. My bro had a sony and it was a giant shitbox with tons of problems. If ANYTHING goes wrong with your dell they send someone to to fix it or mail you a new part that you get within 48 hours. One time I blew out my harddrive like a fucking moron and they sent me a brand new one that I got from across the country in like 12 hours.
