My PC is on its last legs and I think I want to get a laptop. I'd like to have one for when I travel and such (like being able to lay in bed while part of the mini jam's, lol). The thing is, I don't know that much about laptops. I was thinking about a netbook but I don't like how they don't have dvd drives. Here's a little bit about what I'm looking for:
Budget: $500
Ram: 3 gigs unless upgrading it with something from newegg or tigerdirect is cheaper than getting the additional ram with the new unit.
OS: Xp or Windows 7
Processor: 2.0GHz with an Intel Pentium Dual Core chip or something close
Webcam and mic integrated
Hardrive: Not a big deal
DVD writer
As an example, I really like this one http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...?EdpNo=5311061&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs but it doesn't have an integrated mic! I'd like to stay away from Dell.
Thanks for all your help!
