Default HAN help me find a reasonably priced laptop

You guys are always good for shopping help so here goes.

My gf wants to get a laptop for not a lot of money. Doesn't need anything particularly fancy. Basic web browsing, occasional office apps, and a bit of photo editing. I came up with the following specs:

14" or bigger screen
1.75 GHz or faster CPU
2 GB or more RAM
160 GB or larger HD
6.5 lbs or less weight

The first thing I found that meets what I'm looking for is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834107015

Can you guys find anything with as good or better specs for $600 or less?

Thanks!!!
