Best Laptop for $650 and under?

[MARSHH]

I'm looking to choose between these 4...

HP Pavilion dm3-1030us NoteBook

Acer Aspire AS5739G-6959 NoteBook

HP G61-320US NoteBook

ASUS UL30A-X5


I occasionally do a lot of MS Word as well a college student, messaging, YouTubing, and inter browsing, not to mention I multitask all of these apps as well.

I'm looking to find a fast laptop that doesn't overheat with long periods of use(2-3 hours), also I would like 2.5+ hours of battery life.


Other suggestions are welcomed as well.


EDIT: I would like to mention that I listen to music half the time whenever I'm on a computer, so decent or top-notch speakers wouldn't hurt.

Laptops don't have good speakers. Go with #2, the acer.

I agree with Druid.

You could easily get a mp3 player and just play your music from that.

Thanks for the recommendations..

I finally came down to a choice.
