    I would recommend an Acer 3830TG-6634, I bought a few months ago and it's pretty good. The specs are:

    i5-2420M @ 2.4GHz (Up to 3.0GHz)
    6GB RAM
    750GB HD
    Nvidia 540m

    It cost me $650, there's obviously better laptops out there. But for the price it was a pretty decent deal.

    You wouldn't happen to have a Canadian link for that would you?
