    Buying a Laptop

    I'm looking into buying a laptop for cheap. I'm not really sure what I'm lookin for but mainly just for browsing.
    Must have win 7
    4+ gb ram
    Large hdd
    Webcam on the front.

    I really have no clue anymore what's good I haven't really followed the market lately.

    He said cheap so I'd highly doubt over $800..

    I'd guess $300-600 range or so.


    Good luck DJ, I'd offer to sell one that I'm getting as part of a trade, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a built-in webcam.

    This one is solid and seems to meet your requirements:

    We can't really say anything without a budget.

    this.

    And that's good for the price, assuming you're only doing web browsing.
    You can always stick another HD in it if there isn't enough space, or use an external.

    Oops failed the <,>.

    I'd have to agree here, in the 500-600$ range everything seems similar. Hard drive space is always easy to upgrade.

    Buying a Laptop

    Well I want something that won't cost me too much I only would need to go on fb and sythe. I don't need a gaming machine. Pockets if you have a laptop to sell I wouldn't mind entertaining it. I am desperate. I hate just usin my iphOne. Basically something under $600 since it doesn't have to be brand new. I'd prefer used.

    Any laptop will pretty much do that. Just pick one that you like. Pockets recommended a good one, but a cheaper one would be alright too.

    Laptop? o.o

    Don't go for the cheapest out there, they will do what you want them to do in this case use Sythe and Skype and such, but I would say go for something that is around mid range, the cheapest laptops are crap and make doing anything on them a nightmare.

    Buying a Laptop

    I know but I've seen some around 300-400 on eBay used that seem nice. I'm not looking for one to run RS bots on lol. I wanna make it clear that I don't need it made to game since my computer gaming isn't too big.

    I'm not saying for a laptop that can run bots, just don't go for the cheapest one out there, they run like shit and drive you up the wall. $400+ should get you something decent.
