I'd like a laptop that could run Mount and Blade Warband on decent settings, and that's good for programming.
The cheaper the better.
The laptop should have around 4gb of ram, 200gb or larger hard drive. I know the specs aren't great. I don't want the specs to be too great because I'm trying to develop on lower-end PCs. Please don't recommend a 1k dollar laptop because I'm going to try to pay for this myself.
This has a long list of decent quality cheap laptops

i have a dell latitude e6410 that i got for 4. its got an i5, dual core, and comes with 4 gigs of ram. im really happy with it. it plays games extremely well, can take a beating, and is lightweight. its not going to be the best thing ever, but im an avid gamer and everything ive played on it (except for skyrim for some reason) works excellently
Yea, I was searching that for about 10 minutes most of the laptops I found were $400-700.
I did find these on Amazon:

Lumpkin you know what you want more then we do so why don't you just head on over to google or a computer store like http://www.newegg.com
and browse for laptops?
Here is a current 72 hour sale for a laptop like the one you posted but with better specs and lower price when on sale. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231083&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL080913&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL080913-_-EMC-080913-Index-_-LaptopsNotebooks-_-34231083-L0B
i havent checked out any of the links provided so one might come up proving me wrong, but you cant be too picky fred (do you care if i call you that? its weird calling you lumpkin) because 400 isnt going to get you a top of the line laptop, just one that works for what you need
I don't want a top of the line laptop DTS. Only one that can run Mount and Blade Warband. That will be the area of PCs my apps will target.
Also, you know what, I'm going to change my name to FredBill30 or Fredbill3o.
Zereo, I wish I could make 400 in a day, but unfortunately I'll have to work for it, and the only way to make 4 hundred in a day for me is to become a prostitute :P
I also like the new Levono X1 Carbon. Just got one and love the quality on it and the keyboard. It's also very light which is what I wanted for being on the go a lot.
