New Lenovo IdeaPad U150 11.5" Laptop - $480

New, with box and all original accessories, Lenovo U150 with 1.2GHz Intel Celeron Dual Core Processsor, 2GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Edition, and a number of other features. The most important thing to note, however, is that this is not a netbook. Instead of using an underpowered and poorly performing Intel Atom processor, the U105 utilizes a ultra-low voltage dual core processor for CPU-intensive tasks like multitasking, multimedia, and encoding. After powering it up, we ran the Windows Experience Index and discovered that this thing performs as well as a 2 year old ThinkPad x61, which was a much more expensive computer with measly battery life, at least in comparison to this. Also, I have the original proof-of-purchase as evidence that the warranty is good for about another year.

I have pictures posted below if the gallery at LaptopMag isn't enough. It's a gorgeous laptop, something of much higher quality than any equally priced netbook.
