I am planning on buying a new laptop..What can you guys recommend that I buy?
Laptops with
-built in camera
-lots of memory

-not too expensive
My friend recommend this black friday sales: http://blackfriday2009sale.info/inde...aptop&store=10 @ bestbuy

well the 13 inch macbook fits your likely needs, and its a decent price at under 1000, though with education discounts most schools get you likely can get it close to that price anyday.

the toshiba at 400 isnt horrible if you want a pc, its got okay specs but it isnt super fast nor very lightweight.

I can't get the specs from link?

What is your budget?

Small, 14 starts getting small 13.3 is even smaller. Those might be good sizes. Intel has the performance/heat advantage over AMD. But AMD could still be a good choice. Depends on the cost/specs.

The only Toshiba 16" (15.6" to be exact) offered (from Best Buy) at that price in that link is a Celeron with Intel 4500 GPU. You might want to check out NBF Black Friday thread for some other deals?
