-4GB RAM

Meh, it's an okay computer. Good for Word documents, some light photo-editing, web-browsing, listening to music, etc. No big games or anything, though.

 | Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4036 LED TruBrite 14-Inch Laptop (Black)
Buy new: $758.00 / Used from: $499.00 -1.8 GHz AMD Phenom II P820 triple-core processor (AKA..Awesome)
-4GB RAM
-320GB HDD
-3 USB ports
-Card Reader
-Screen is only 14"
I like this one a lot. It has a good processor, which means you can run "bigger" programs without any trouble (Photoshop, any sort of video editing thing). It also means that the laptop will run very quickly. Definitely the best of the Toshibas here.

-2.26GHz Intel Core i5-430M Processor (The best one on the list)
-4GB RAM
-500GB HDD
-Card Reader
-4 USB Ports (woot woot!)
This is my favorite. It's not as sleek as the others, but it has a nice amount packed in there for a low price.

-AMD Turion II Dual Core Mobile
-4GB RAM
-500GB HDD
-4 USB Ports
-Limited Card Reader...no xD =(
-Weak webcam
-1 year of FREE accidental protection
This is a good computer in terms of all around performance. No card reader is the biggest thing. You can buy a cheap one separately if you really want this laptop. The accidental protection thing is AWESOME.

Pretty similar to the others, just a different design. Definitely a solid machine. I don't think you'd be disappointed.

 | Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler
Buy new: $18.39 / Used from: $15.00 You should buy one of these. Keeps your laptop much cooler and makes it last longer. There's other designs out there if you don't like how this one looks, but this is really a must have accessory.

 | SquareTrade 3-Year Computer Warranty ($600-700 Items)
Buy new: $99.99 This warranty covers hardware related stuff. Like if your hard drive gives out, your screen dies, your motherboard fries, etc. That sort of thing. No accidental stuff, though. If it's your fault, it doesn't cover it.

 | SquareTrade 3-Year Accident Protection + Warranty (Computer $600-700)
Buy new: $142.99 This is the accidental protection. It covers all your bases. So it's up to you. How accident prone do you feel?

AWESOME laptop...more expensive ($740), though. And the price of a warranty would increase by $30

Good value, nice processor, and the usual bells and whistles. And...it's exactly $700 minus a penny. Definitely worth your consideration.

-2.40 GHz Intel Core i5-450M dual-core processor
-4GB RAM
-500GB HDD

-3 USB Ports (So did the others...I just forgot to list those.)
It's also nice, except for the card reader thing. The i5 processor is a bonus. But the price is $730, meaning the warranty would be more, too.
