HugoMD,
I'm no expert, in fact, I have a thread similar to yours asking advice on buying a new computer. Got no replies in one day. I don't want you to share my fate, so I'll just throw in this option for you (it's one of mine as well; we're in a similar price range here)

* Model: Toshiba Satellite A505-S6012
* Display: 16" HD+ Glossy (1366x768)
* CPU: Intel® Core i3-330M 2.13 GHz
* RAM: 4GB DDR3 1066MHz
* HDD: 500GB HDD (5400rpm)
* CD: Blu-ray Disc™ ROM and DVD SuperMulti drive with Labelflash
* Wireless: Wi-Fi® Wireless networking (802.11b/g/n) (No Bluetooth)
* USB 2.0 only
* Price+Shipping: $669.99
Not too shabby. The only thing I'm concerned about is if USB 3.0 is going to become standard in the next few years. Intel i3 is good, but i5 is a little better. Those are the only drawbacks, otherwise this is a killer machine for its price.
