I have a $500 laptop running Fedora 8 (with GNOME) and Compiz-Fusion (with quite a few bells and whistles enabled). I also run virtual machines and OpenOffice.org and Firefox at the same time. Everything runs smooth. This article is better suited for a $200-300 laptop. $500 gets you a dual-core, 1GB RAM, and an NVIDIA graphics chip nowadays.
