Good inexpensive laptops? (HDD, email, 2GB, Windows)

[UrbanLuis]

I don't know much about latops, I want to buy a laptop for my little sister, she just wants something basic to use the net and print stuff for school. What are some good basic laptops between nore more then 400 u$d? Do most laptops come with a hdmi connection?

'Good' and 'cheap' don't go together tbh.

I have a Lenovo laptop that wasn't that expensive and I like it. It's one of their lower end models and I had to get a brown (horrors) cover but who cares. It runs Win7 and has a simple Microsoft photo gallery and Word Starter. For research and email and photos, it's good enough for me. It has that connection--I think that's for tv? Lenovo G series, under $400.00.

Cool thanks for the reply. I'll look into it.

Never mind. I did a little research. Probably not what you're after.

Why not? "Bad" and "expensive " do.

Well, the CPU performance is a bit lackluster ... I'd rather get this for $40 more:

Or this one for the same price but with slightly better CPU and has an HDMI port: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/14-lapto...&skuId=8850089

I would look online at sites like newegg.com and tigerdirect.com.

Whatever you do don't buy a laptop from Best Buy.
