What kind of laptops are fast, have good battery life, and are reasonably priced?

Question by Kay-Snap: What kind of laptops are fast, have good battery life, and are reasonably priced?
I want a new laptop that is fast, has good battery life, and doesn’t cost a fortune. Macs are great computers, but I don’t have $ 1000+ to spend. I want one with a built in web cam and speaker also. $ 800 is my maximum price for a brand new laptop.
Thanks

Hp or Dell laptops are good. The Dell Inspiron 1525 has 2gb memory and the battery lasts I think 5-7 and a half hours, depending on the power mode you are using. It costs i think 699$ . To get a webcam you have to add like 30$ to 60$ more.

Hp laptop are reasonable priced. They are pretty good too. They have like the same features as a Dell except they are from Hp and not from Dell.
