Can someone narrow down my laptop choices?

I'm looking at buying a laptop within the next year and a half and I have some qualifications that I'd like it to meet but I don't know how to narrow it down myself. So I'd greatly appreciate it if you could find me the right kind of laptops (I'm looking for you to narrow it down to about 4-6 laptops):
-Windows 7 (not Google Chromebook, Windows 8, or MacBook)
-Have a DVD thing so I can insert discs to watch movies and stuff
-Be less than $500 NEW
-Have a large screen (not be a miniature-sized laptop)
-Just work well and look nice overall

Next year and a half is a long period od time for tech. There might be many new thing available. You can get a good one with your price. You might even find an i-5 when they are on sale. Usually toshiba, asus and acer.
hope that helps.
