I know we have a lot of computer experts here, so let's see if I can get some help.

Next year I'm going to University and I was curious if anyone could help me find a nice laptop that I will need to buy before I go. The screen size doesn't have to be that big at all, and I don't need a gaming computer.

I just want a computer that will connect with the internet fast and allow me to use chat engines like MSN, AIM, etc.

Would like it to be under $500-600 if possible. Any ideas of laptops that worked for you? Know of any that are good?

Thanks in advance,
