Totally noob question about Notebook~~~ Budget is only around $800

[TimeKeeper]

I am looking for a notebook w/ 12" screen size. (I don't want anything big screen)
Like I said, I don't have much budget

What's the reliable notebook, that I can add more RAM in the future. (of course, minimum 512Mhz, since office work is what I am using only. NO GAMING)

Can you guys please please suggest something for me?
I don't even mind shop at the fleabay (just make sure do NOT provide link, it is against forum rule)

thanks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could think that Dell B120 is in your budget which are 14" screen size. 12" screen size and lightweight tend to be more than 2k bucks.

How about less than $1k?
Averatech any good?

Dell B120 is about 650 bucks and I don't about Avaratec very much.. I never owned Averatec laptops so I'm sure someone who owned Averatec will tell you. ;-]

yeah...I was kind of looking at the averatec at my local store, even at Costco.
but I don't know how reliable it is. Other than that, it is small and within my budget.

Is it reliable?

I just bought Acer TravelMate 2423WXCi Notebook for $500. http://www.buy.com/prod/LX_TB205_077/q/loc/212/202192869.html I added a 1gig stick of ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227110 for $80. Made a big difference in performance. For a budget laptop, I'm very pleased with what I got for the $.
