College student needs value-for-money laptop

[transez]

Hi, I need to get myself a new laptop but not sure what is the most value-for-money out there :S I'll be using it mostly for internet, college work, some entertainment, music, movies, light gaming ... Not sure how much I should spend, as long as the specs match the performance expected of the price ... do u guys have any experience getting a laptop u think is "value-for-money"? Which models do you think are "value-for-money" and why do you think so?? Please help!! Thanks!!!!

this is pretty weird. a friend of mine purchased a compaq core2duo with 2GB RAM for 32K last year. it even had a webcam and a 160GB HDD. No OS though. No bluetooth as well.

Acer is available even for the price below 20K
