Here are some suggestions:

HP/Compaq - Believe it or not, they build pretty good laptops. We bought a Desktop for the kids for X-mas direct and it worked out really well. Only thing I don't like is the Intel integrated video card, but in this price range unfortunately every thing will use an integrated card (some just use ATi or Nvidia chipsets).

Newegg also has some under $500 that are pretty decent, including a couple of referb's (if your so inclinded)

Or for about $600 shipped you can get a pretty decent Acer

Best Buy.com Has a Compaq that is a REALLY nice price for what all your getting.

Circuit City has some in the same range that are decent, if you can handle waiting 12 weeks for your $100 in MIR's. And I wouldn't got to WallWorld, or Staples for buying computers (won't go to Wallyworld for anything, but you knew that).
