Toshiba Satellite Laptop —
The Toshiba Satellite Laptop has everything I could need, built in wireless, webcam for chatting with distant family and & not so distant family.... The second I brought it in the house I turned it on it instantly found my wireless network & was off and running!
I have owned HP's, Dell's, Gateway, E-Machines, Acers, just about every brand & price range out there for home or business at one point or another and this one is by far the best and most depenable value to date..... Actually the 2nd Toshiba I bought.... quite glad about that now too!
It even has a great built in card reader for downloading pics from the digital cam or cell phone on the fly..... plenty of USB ports & great power management....
Highly recommended!!!
