I have a friend who needs a new laptop, budget-conscious, that's got at least 500GB and 6GB of RAM. I'm not really sure where to point them, as I haven't bought a laptop in years and have no idea who is a good manufacturer and where to go to price one out. The most intensive thing it will have to do is run Skype, so it doesn't need to be a monster. It's just a work/study machine.
[Question] I don't know anything about laptops

Acer Extensa 2510?
It may not have the 6GB RAM, but that is remedied easily enough, and aside from no backlight on the keyboard, the review sites praise it as one of the best ones to be had at/near the $500 price point.
This was from about 10min web searching, I assume deep research would turn up at least a few more worthy competitors.

It meets your specs, but I don't know much about the model.

...that isn't made by Apple, we know.
HP has more than a few decent models, but most of theirs obviously look and feel like they were designed to be mass-produced as quickly as possible.
