Unless you have a particular and special reason for needing a built in webcam, make that fairly low on the list of priorities. You can usually do a lot better for far less by adding even a top-of-the-range webcam. It depends very much what you want to use the cam for but if you were looking to make higher-quality videos, then you should maybe consider a camcorder of some kind rather than a webcam (some can, I believe, be set up to work as a webcam).
Lightscribe is also something I would need a very good and valid reason for choosing. Lightscribe 'labels' are not permanent and need to be kept away from daylight. (Wikipedia says: "Optical media should always be stored in a protective sleeve or case that keeps the data content in the dark and safe from scratches. If properly stored as such, the label should show no noticeable change for much longer than 9 months in real-world application.")
Information on Lightscribe compatible drives is here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Specific.aspx?ArticleId=13449
It seems that BenQ make the most reliable Lightscribe drives. One has to take into consideration the extra cost of the drive, media and time involved in writing a Lightscribe label - 17 minutes is quoted! How long does it take to write with a CD pen or to print a conventional label - in full colour? A printer that can print direct onto suitably coated CDs would be quicker and give a superior result!
Any laptop with a hard disk that size will also have WiFi (usually an Orinoco card) built in - only the very budget machines do not, these days. Most will also have a DVD writer but a D/L may be harder to find.
I would look at the Toshiba range and perhaps Dell. Sony have always seemed too expensive for what they offer to me - it never seems to me that they have that much of an edge on quality. There are many other less well-known makes. Tosh have been around for quite a while and have generally been very reliable with good warranties and after sales (I have heard of the occasional horrors but they are exceptions).

I can list out many different websites for you to buy laptop online.
But my sincere request is that you buy anything not online because there are many hackers who can just suck your credit card.
I recommend you to buy a lenovo laptop (if you have a lot of money to spend). Its simply the best. You will get all the reqirement details from the dealer.
You can also buy a Sony laptop which is the second best option.
You get all your requirements in both the leading companies.
Go ahead & have your fav. laptop. Good luck.

I would recomend Acer for this. They have good systems at low cost and have great quality. Their tech support is very good and they also have a warranty that no one else does: an international warranty on all systems. I can't remember which models they have are with those specs, but check out their website to see.

Hello jenkins 123,
I would recommend a MacBook Pro. You will probably need to upgrade the hard drive, but it has everything else that you're looking for. Check it out here:

Good luck.

except you will improve to a greater robust motherboard and CPU, then i could merely pass with the recent one. the reason of this could be that there ought to o.k. be different matters that should cost extra money to repair, or there ought to be different matters arise quickly after the restoration. greater effective to purchase the recent one and characteristic the guaranty. despite the fact that in case you may make this an threat to enhance your pc to a lots greater effective and swifter device. you may make it precisely the way you may like it. yet the two way, you will might desire to spend some money in this subject you have. stable success to you.
