For that price if your going to buy in store I'd say a acer or a sony.. I love my sony vaio vpceb42fm laptop it was only 400 usd, but I'm sure you can find one cheaper.

I've had such bad experiences with Compaq and HP... Last compaq laptop I used the motherboard got fried... then I had a HP desktop.. an oh I ended up throughing it in the trash lol. But Acer I've had good experiences with.. only problem that I've noticed me an others have had with it is the keyboard begins to sink/dip in a little bit after about 2 years of usage lol.

Oh Lol. I've had my Compaq laptop for 6 years now and it's running like a brand new laptop. Since I changed the Hard-drive to a newer version. But, it's up to Jimmy on what he is going to spend with his money.

I hate HP Lol, what do you guys think about this one?

I will say I did get the compaq for free so that could of been the problem lmfao. 
But I'd say acer for a good starter laptop thats cheap an reliable for the most part.

Well, it's up to Jimmy for whatever one he want's to purchase.

Are you all crazy? 400$ for a AMD Laptop? That's like paying 400$ for a plastic frying pan for your eggs...
