Thread Starter 
I'm starting college and am going to need a laptop.

Budget- $600 (I can go a bit over if the laptop is significantly better than my other options)

Needs:
-Long Battery Life
-4GB Memory Minimum
-Webcam+Mic

Wants:
-Decent Graphics Card
-Light
-Decent Sized Screen

Any recommendations? I was looking at this one: http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/pro...Q645UA%2523ABA

Is that any good?

Good specs for the price. Can do what you state above. Try to get an extension on the warranty though.

cheers ...

~Very good for long lasting battery and processes
Not very good graphic card for "intense" gaming but it's all right if you want to use multimedia, TV etc.
Very Cheap!
NO webcam or mic =(
4GB RAM-what you wanted

~Refurbished =( but warranty still included
Decent Graphics-Way better than Intel GMA 4500M
14" makes it a little lighter
VERY LIGHT
4GB DDR3 RAM-way faster than DDR2
AMD Turion II Dual-Core (not better than Intel Pentium, it meets the standard though)
Lenovo makes good laptops for students and business
