If you still need a $500 notebook -
Office Depot has the Compaq Presario 2200 for $499.99 AR ($30, $100, $100). If your OD takes competitor's coupons (one of mine does), you can bring it down more. I recently got a $40 off $200 OfficeMax in snail mail. You have to go to the store and configure it.
I purchased this notebook in Nov. and have already gotten one of the rebates and the others have all been approved. I haven't gotten to play with it much, so no opinion here on performance. Sorry.
