Advice on new laptop

[pumpkin]

I'm on the lookout for a new laptop but am unsure which one to get. I'm not willing to spend more than about $680. I'm planning to use the computer for music/movies, school/work (MS Office), Internet and maybe some minor photo editing. I'd prefer a 15.6 laptop and if possible an Intel Core processor.

Any suggestions?
