Need help picking the right laptop

[sneaky82]

Looking to buy a laptop for ~$500 with a good amount of ram any suggestions?

Will be using it to browse internet and run a good amount of programs, just the usual for the average 18 year old . I know I'm not giving you much to go off of but just link me to what you'd buy

I don't know much about computer specs but is 4gb of ram good enough or should I pay a little extra and max the ram to 8GB?

Just buy extra sticks and install them. IT'll be cheaper than buying it with more in it.

even though this laptop is a little over your budget, i still think buying a mac is worth it. here it is: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC505LL/A?mco=MjA2NTk3NzA

(it's refurbished so it is cheaper)

Liking this one I really like this one debating between this and the macbook cuz I do love video editing but I'd get a comp with worse specs for $250 more and would couldn't run certain progs

Don't be. Black Tux's is better. Why would you have a computer nowadays with only 2GB of RAM?

Seriously think before buying a mac book. Why spend $750 for an 11.6 inch screen, a lousy 1.4ghz dual core processor, 2GB RAM and a laughable 64GB storage, when you can spend $500 for a 17.3 inch screen, 2.2ghz QUAD core processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD etc.. It makes no sense.

And the macbook is refurbished!
