Upping the 1gb of RAM to 2gb is only $38.

Sorry, but untill you spend at least $800 on a laptop (laptops are more expensive than desktops), you won't get anything good.
You should start off by saying... I want to do . with a laptop. Which one can I get for 500? You CAN get a decent one for 500. Actually less. I have purchased a couple off of craigslist.org for decent amounts.
For that price, try Acer or Averetec; both are good for cheaper laptops

You can also try buying it off of eBay. A lot of inexpensive things there.
Try Acer.
Fairly cheap but good quality
ACER of course.. about memory (RAM) you can upgrade then
For reliability i would recommend an ASUS laptop. one of the only laptop company's to have a 2 year standard global warranty.

as the others said you wont get a very fast one for that money but it is worth a try

have a look at www.asuslaptop.com for some prices and specs.
It really depends on you. what do you prefer? what is your brand (IBM, HP, Dell, Apple, Panisonic or Sony)? i am not too sure i can help you with this one. Just do your homework/research. shop around for the best deal/bargain.
I would recommend the Acer Aspire, I believe it may be $699 though, you could always go with an Inspiron B 130 from Dell, not much in quality, but it certainly gets the job done.
it is possible to get a brand new laptop for $500 but, you are not going to get the speed you want. Most new laptop runs on window vista and you are going to need at least 1 GB cuz with half of that, vista is going to run too slow. You can also get 512MB that runs on XP. You can check bestbuy for good laptop. I recently purchased hp pavilion dv6000 serie with 1GB memory/160GB hard drive for 499.99 plus 5% tax. It is a good laptop, only thing I do not like about is the battery life expectancy. Which is only about 2 hours when fully charged Hope this helps. Good Luck!
