The price range is $500-600. Absolutely no more than $600. He wants the largest screen you can get at that price(this being the biggest request), along with a built in wifi, webcam, and a decent graphics card. The HD doesn't have to be huge, but moderate in size, close to 300GB if possible. This is mainly for work, not a gaming machine, so the extent of entertainment and media is along the lines of Netflix and some lower end games. Any suggestions and links would be highly appreciated.

Basically, whatever the best I can get for around $600, that's what I would prefer. Edited July 25, 2011 by Elleon Link to comment
