The HP Compaq Presario laptop is offered by Circuit City for $310 after $290 instant off and $110 mail-in rebate in this holiday season. And if you willing to sign a 12-month subscription to Vonage, you can get this HP Compaq Presario laptop for only $99, according to the 'Black Friday' ads. The $310 15.4-inch wide screen HP Compaq Presario notebook has Intel Celeron M 420 processor, 1 GB DDR RAM, 120GB hard drive, built-in wireless, and a DVD/CD writer. I think this would good choice for you.

I think personally would tell you keep an eye on Circuit City or Best Buy websites (or similar places), where you might find something to buy within your range. Especially, if there would be an outlet or discount area. Costco is another option, where you see pretty decent laptops for around $300 before taxes, etc. during the holidays. Hope this could give solution in selecting the notebook. I would suggest that buy any DELL laptops, because it will get fix in your budget also.
