Provided you are a student with a valid student email address.

Also, just my opinion, but don't skimp on a laptop because you think, "Oh I'll only use it for internet and typing documents." You won't! No one ever uses everything they buy for it's intended purpose and only that. Spend a little more for a quality product and it will last you a long time. Put in the effort in maintaining it as well. Do your updates, keep your drives clean and organized, Etc.
If you MUST spend > $400 the only viable machines I've seen lately are these:

Last note, Office 365 is free to students and it includes: Word, Powerpoint, Excel, One Note, Info, Skype, and in some cases Visio Online
That's not the only reason to worry about Amazon. A lot of these are bulk items being resold that may or may not have a warranty with them. As it stands now, complaining to Amazon typically results in you getting help from Amazon but I do foresee this changing as Amazon's growth slows. Product for product, I think Best Buy is hard to beat. Costco is good too but they tend to be a bit more pricey than the $400 range. Check Best Buy's deal of the day if you are not in a rush. They usually throw a good laptop in there every week.
