Satellite M500-ST6444 ($655.00)

• Intel® Core™ i3-330M Processor 2.13 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache, 1066MHz DDR3
• Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• 3GB DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM (2048MB+1024MB)
• 250GB HDD (5400rpm, Serial-ATA)
• Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD
• DVD SuperMulti (+/-R double layer) drive
• Customizable, so if I want more of any of these things, I can get them.
