looking to buy my sis a new laptop
no macs, she used mine and doesn't like osx

the only requirements are 

 intel an i3 would suffice

4 gig ram

14-15 inch screen

and a chiclet keyboard. 

450 would be an ideal price but if there is no other option i can stretch to 480 maybe 500

any help is appreciated

Lurk Slickdeals and wait for a good deal to come up, I've seen i5's go for 400-500.

Buy her a Mac with bootcamp.

I hate windows. They always freeze when I'm running a lot of software which I need to do for school or or my website and music. I switch to windows from my Mac using bootcamp since its more convenient.

(Hanna Montana melody, don't act like you don't know it) You get the bessssttt of both worlds, why would you have just one? When you could rock out with both?

you want to spend $30 more than your budget & $100 more than the i3 version for that?

Asus is the way to go. Don't even look at Dell or HP.

Cause they are stupid

Go with Asus.  They make some decent budget laptops.  Build quality/reliability is usually better than those cheap Acers/HPs/Dells.
