    My old laptop is banjaxed now that the battery and charger are starting to fail. I want to get a laptop that has enough space for a decent amount of music and videos, I'm thinking around 60GB of media files. My gaming needs aren't too taxing as I tend to play older RTS and WOW. What I'm looking for is value, a decent HDD, no major weaknesses and a webcam if possible.

    Any thoughts? I used to be up on my tech but have fallen to the wayside in the last 2 or so years and it seems that it will take a while to get back to speed.

    All help appreciated.
