Looking for an affordable laptop with the following config:

0. Atleast 15 inch screen with LED backlight
1. Dual core processors from Intel (pref. Pentium)
2. Atleast 2G RAM expandable to atleast 4G
3. Atleast 320G HDD
4. Headphone and Mic jacks
5. 2+ USB Ports
6. WiFi

The following would be preferred but not necessary:

1. Good quality keyboard
2. Altec Lansing Speakers
3. Bluetooth connectivity
4. Intergrated Webcam and mic
5. Multicard reader

No real need for a DVD drive, nor Windows OS.

My budget is $350 to $450, the lower the better.

As I am in California, it would be great if you could let me know of B&M stored that have some deals.

Also - would buying refurbished laptops be risky?

If your next new topic is what toilet paper to use, listing specifications, I will officially delete this site from my bookmarks.

Great!

I did end up buying a good one for $367 total, although it has a problem with the fan : http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread ... 187&page=3
