This laptop is getting quite old, and I'm shopping around for a new one. If anyone here has suggestions, here's what I'm looking for in a laptop:
350GB drive minimum
4 GB of RAM preferred, preferably at least 1GB of VRAM
Under $600
I'm not looking to install every modern game there is, just maybe one or two recent games and a few older games that work even on this laptop with 64MB of VRAM.
I was thinking about this one:

It's $430 on Amazon refurbished, or $519 at Best Buy new.
There's no such thing as a 350GB drive in a laptop, either 320 (~300) or 500 (~450) and I don't think that one has a dedicated graphics card.

Pretty much anything in that is probably what you want.
Get a Mac or die.
And by die, I mean get a Lenovo. Best non-mac laptops, hands down. They're intercourse ing awesome.
