Hi, I am looking for a laptop to send home to my parents, something under $500. Any great deals that you guys know of? Any recommendataions?? Things I am looking for: 1. Good battery life (you know with the electricity situation in KTM) 2. Built in web cam, so that they can use video chat. I don't really care if its a XP machine, or whether or not it has HDMI input, I am looking for something decent don't want something really crappy, but something that will last them 3-4 years.... Thanks.

 Best option for u---- Mini laptops( light,cute and durable) see this:  http://www.dell.com/home/netbo...             see for other brands of minilaptops too. most of them end up with 500-600 with so many functions available.

I just bought a Gateway comp. with no tax and free shipping 399.99 total but no webcam,  from Newegg.com. http://www.newegg.com/Product/... if you looking for a comp. with webcam this is the best deal I have found so far http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol... if you select store pick up, they don't charge you shipping fee.

Look in bestbuy, buy one with battery life of 7-8 hours. It costs about $600-700 but worths esp for use in Nepal

I recommend toshiba laptops because they r light, provide good battery lifetime, have stereo sound and quite cheaper... If u are buying a cheap laptop, u'd rather not buy a Dell or a HP.

U'd rather go for what Power Ranger suggested, that's a good deal indeed!!
