Okay.  First of all, you are probably not going to find a decent new laptop in your price range.  In fact, I would go so far as to say that you should *avoid* any new laptop at a price as low as $400.  Manufacturers would have to make too many compromises in the quality of the components and the screen to meet that price point.  If you have less than $400 to spend, you are better off buying a used laptop.

That should not be a problem.  You probably only need to get something that can do word processing, Internet access, and the like, right?  For high school, you don't need to do high-end graphics, big spreadsheets, animation, or anything else that requires the latest and greatest high-power machine.

With that in mind, look on Craigslist for the Portland area.  I saw a couple of perfectly good sounding laptops just now that are in your price range or very close.  http://portland.craigslist.org/sys/

While you don't get the newest and coolest machines when you buy something used, you may get a bunch of software already installed on the hard drive.  That can be a huge savings.  

One thing to keep in mind:  make sure you have enough RAM for whatever computer you buy.  A lot of used computers (especially laptops) are given up by their owners because they are "too slow."  Most of the time, increasing the memory will give them a whole new life.  Manufacturers and buyers tend to skimp on RAM, because memory used to be very expensive. Memory prices have come way down now, however, so you should make sure you have plenty.

I hope this helps.  Good luck!!
