Yeah, looking for opinions, suggestions and hopefully what I've been hunting all of today. @_@
I'm a military guy, and heading out on the 29th of this month for specialized whachamacallits. While there, we will have extremely limited access to PC's, if access at all. from there, shipped overseas more than likely. We *are* allowed to bring laptops of our own though, and the one I have...really is ancient, falling apart and hangs by a hinge. Literally.
So I've been looking for a PC that will last me a little while. I really just want three things out of it. One, an intergrated webcam/mic so I can keep in touch with friends and family more often, and more personally. So they don't worry about me being Jihad' and whatnot. xD
Second (which really isn't much) is to be able to play FFXI. But FFXi runs on just about anything, so it's fine. Or should be.
Thirdly, it has to be under $800. That's my budget. D: Not made of money, unfortunately.
So far, what I've found is http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Laptop+with+AMD+Turion%26%23153%3B+II+Ultra+Dual-Core+Mobile+Processor/9556296.p?id=1218123847586&skuId=9556296&st=Pavilion thanks to a friends suggestion. But I'd rather have the opinions of others as well, on if that is worth the money, or if anyone can suggest something decent that is cheaper, or better for about the same price.
Thanks in advance for the input. It'll be much appreciated.
