Laptop Recomendation ~800

[thescreensavers]

Hello,

a Friend is basically looking for a laptop to do all the things under the sun except Gaming (perfect!) She just needs it to be light and have good battery.

So I looked around and found Dell Inspiron 14r

Intel i3 370M 2.4ghz
Intel Integrated HD - seems good enough to play the occasional HD video
500gb HD
4gb Ram
W7 64bit
5 hours of battery

That fits the bill pretty well, and she wants to buy the 3 year full accidental since she klutzy. The Dell is $859 w/3 year


I looked around at other brands and it seems the dell has them beat. But I would like some input, I might be overseeing something.

Screen size?
Refurb ok? 20&#37; off Dell outlet going on (ends 10/22). Check slickdeals hot deals forum. Some are getting i3 laptops for <$400 so with 3 yr warranty, easily under $700. Been going on for awhile so best deals may be gone

Lenovo and Dell usually have best deals.
Though dell has none currently, the Lenovo g460 looks like a good match for what she wants - even comes with bluetooth.

ASUS U series? Screen is mediocre at best, but battery life should be excellent.
