13.3" to 14" laptop for $500?

Is there a decent laptop of 13.3" to 14" screen (preferably LED) for around $500? Any chance of anything half decent?

I figure brand names won't be much of a factor since this will probably be a consumer grade laptop so probably not the best QC/Quality but I was wondering if there's anything half decent. Meaning not total junk.

Any recommendations?

I would guess it would be either Acer, Toshiba, Dell or HP but if there's another name, which model would you suggest?

I want to avoid Optimus-based laptops, too, but at that price, probably don't have to worry about that.

I would want the laptop for basic tasks but the ATI hybrid types are interesting. I would like a LED screen and a half decent cpu in there would be good. I also would like decent battery life. I want at least 3 to 4 hours min. but the ones that are going around 6 hrs would be interesting to know about. What laptops would offer that?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations and info!!!!!!!!!!!
