Well, we are buying my grandpa a new laptop for his bday coming up. We need the best thing for money under $500.

From anywhere.

It MUST be 100% assembled. From anywhere, newegg, bestbuy etc.

He will be using it for stock trading, email and other basic web browsing so nothing to fancy.

I was thinking a 2.2+ ghz dual core and like 2 gigs of ram????

Any Hd over 80 gigs will be fine.

You can't beat the Dell laptops for your stated uses, you can configure to meet your needs
