i cant stand buying prebuilt computers. they come with so much crap you dont need. are you going to reformat it as soon as you get it?

Yup, next time I get a new computer that's the first thing I would do....my dad hasn't touched anything on his computer since he bought it from HP and it runs like shite.

any laptop is going to be fine with those needs in mind. powerpoint isn't all that intensive. you could always get a dell and dual boot to ubuntu even ;)
IBM/Lonovo are well built but usually over a grand. HP is starting to make theirs better, but dells are just not very well made and their customer service is horrible! hor-ib-ble! bad as in not good. that's been my experience anyway and I'm in IT where I have to deal with these things despite my using a Mac at home...

Refurb IMB THinkpad from IBM/Lenovo's site - less than $1K and built like a tank, processes like a Navy Seal.
