Looking for a new laptop

[Derekgnr]

I'm looking to buy a new laptop for around $300. Are there any decent ones for that price? It's not for gaming, just simple internet stuff.

What screen size? Need an optical drive? HDD space? amount of RAM? Weight? Battery life?

Under that price range, you'd only get a netbook with max 10.1" screen.

At least 14 inches. Yes optical drive. About 160 gb. At least 1 gb ram. Weight doesn't matter.
