A great Compaq CQ61-212TU Notebook for only $750 from OfficeWorks
Trust me, this is an all purpose laptop and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Known to be equipped with the Intel GMA 4500M, this integrated laptop graphics card is known to be able to play every single game currently released so long as you're not too picky about the graphics. It comes with a T4200 Core Duo CPU which a lot better than those you find in other laptops. It has 4GBs of RAM and you can't upgrade it unfortunately since it's a 32-bit OS and those can only take up to 4GB at max. Other than that though, it comes with a 15.6" screen and a 160GB internal hard drive so you won't go wrong with this purchase.
