wats the ur price range? although it sounds to me like ur looking in the $350 area......there was recently a deal for HP laptops aprox $350 and good for all the stuff u listed. yet it was simple meaning graphics and speed arent amazing......but u said u dont care about that

I think you should shop by price. Anything in the $350-400 price range should work. Just make sure it doesn't have an Intel Atom processor. Even a Celeron 900 would work (though $400 for a Celeron 900 isn't a great deal).

the speed should be fine for u....it just wont be a gaming laptop.......i personally would look at Dell first then look at HP.....although if u look around enough u should be able to find a deal with either.......just stay away from acer, their not good. if u find a deal and want advice just pm me a link and i'll help u out as much as i can....good luck!
