Shown in today's paper is a Fry's Electronics ad for a Lenovo laptop. It appears to be the model G555 or G560, 15.6" screen, 3GB memory, 160GB Harddrive (a little small, but serviceable), web cam, etc. The price is a low $349.99. I don't think you can do much better than that for a laptop of this size.
