And paying $1200 for a notebook that is going to be just about as out of date in 3 years as the $500 one doesn't make sense for a home user.
Unless you want a game system, go cheap IMHO.

True, depending on what you want or what you can afford, one may not be better than the other. As I said before, I prefer my IBMs to anything I have used or owned, or given away. I actually have recommended Dell to the home user that doesnt do anything more than check email, a few pictures, play a few games...BUT I ALWAYS suggest they upgrade their warranty.
