I need help finding the right laptop?

stay away from dell and acer laptops they are very flimsy and cheaply made. i'd go for a hewlett packard or compaq get 3gb or ram (memory) and try to get a 320gb hard drive (storage space for you music) and get a dual core processor either pentium or amd and you'll want to make sure it has a cd/dvd burner drive. most hp's and compaqs have built in webcams and microphones now. good luck :0)
