Been looking into some laptops but I need it a little cheaper then 600!

Is this okay? It's still to expensive for my budget. http://www.shopping.hp.com/series/category/notebooks/g6s_series/3/computer_store?jumpid=in_r329_personalization/browse1/landing_SDP

Anyone have suggestions? No desktops (personal preference)

I also need this laptop for personal use/school work. Also looking for a laptop with both mic and webcam?

Would appreciate the help.

I'd be careful with laptops. I'd suggest one with Dedicated graphics by ATI. All three of my laptops struggle with minecraft and they've all got 2GB RAM with decent processors.

Eh I decided not to get a notebook. Person who's getting me a new computer will only agree to buy a pc and NOT a laptop.

It's stupid and irritating but I need a new computer.

Would this be okay to run minecraft? And I need to know if it'll run smooth.

Ok now to be serious. this one has 4gb of ram 500gb hard drive and an i5 intel processor. my mac has the same ram and space and i run a server off of it. its 580.... but thats cheap when you know that i spent 2000 for the same thing (mine has a i7 and a camera though)

I have a Toshiba with built in webcam and mic. I have a bunch of texture packs and mods and also host a server on it. It was around $600. Minecraft runs 90% of the time with no lag for me.

Yeah that would be an epic computer, it can easily run minecraft you could run 5 people running it at the same time (it would be able, but the other 4 people will be having trouble playing mc at the same time) it could also run a pretty decent server and yeah it has a built in mic and webcam so it seems like an epic deal

Oh no I already know this. Just wondering if anyone had any other opinions on it or if they had a better cheaper suggestion.
