How much will I definitely have to pay for a laptop computer?

So, how much do you have to pay for an average laptop computer?
I ain't exactly looking for the newest, latest versions, but basically something that works decently.

Think of it this way:

For how a 400 dollar desktop PC might perform, you'll need to spend around 750 to 1000 dollars to buy a laptop that is on par with the 400 dollar PC's speed and other specs.

Oh damn, and I've only got $1570, and I'll need 25% of those money to pay the bills.

Meh.

Check out some rebates at this site:

edealinfo.com

I was able to save almost 500 dollars with the desktop I bought 4 or so years ago with a mail-in rebate from this site. It is updated quite frequently as well, so there is likely to be a rather large rebate for a laptop within the month or so.

This is, of course, if you are willing to use a mail-in rebate.

$1000 will get you where you need to go. Maybe a little more.

Dell has some at $800 that look pretty good, and a economy model at $500. not counting in fees etc. HP has some in the same range.
