I picked up a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13" laptop a few months ago.. Think it cost $450 or so. That has a ultra-low-voltage Core i3 dual-core processor, 4GB of ram, and some large amount of disk.

(Unlike my previous laptop, where the plastic-mounted hinges broke off..) Works alright with recent Ubuntu releases. Just thought I'd toss it out there as another potential option for you.
