Newegg.com - HP Pavilion dv4-2160us NoteBook Intel Core i5 430M(2.26GHz) 14.1" Wide XGA 4GB Memory 320GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi Intel HD Graphics - Laptops / Notebooks

$809 and comes with i5 procy.

900 is NOT equal to 800.

sad, but it's true

Core i5 430M for 730$

Core i3 330M - 630$

Another Toshiba option for 600$

To me it seems like unbelievable price

Don't go for HP or Dell(my 2 cents). Check out Square Trade's Notebook reliability report of Dec 2009. I would say Asus or maybe Lenovo/ Acer or Samsung. You should let us know the reason you need the notebook. Gaming? Extreme portability? Desktop replacement? 10 hours + battery? weight less than 2kg? gaming laptop? what?

Personally, I am looking at the UL 30 series from Asus as I will use the notebook only for web surfing, MS Office, some movies, music and a little gaming. I was looking at netbooks but found the 10" screen a deal breaker. The CULV proc instead of the Intel Atom and the 13.3" screen instead of 10.1" made me look that way. Now I'm waiting for one of my friends to get one for me from the US.

Btw, start at amazon and use the options on the left: under $800, best selling, rated 4 stars and up - and then you can shortlist the ones you like.

Good luck!
