Laptop purchase advice.

[chrisandmegs]

I'm looking to pickup a new laptop this holiday season, possibly on black Friday or "cyber Monday". I'm looking for something with the following features:

15" to 15.6" Screen
1920x1200 resolution
10-Key numbpad
HDMI Port

We live in Wichita KS in the USA and would like to find something <$600 (could possibly stretch to 750 if needed to get something with quality). The main purposes for this machine would be:
-browse the web
-run microsoft office applications
-connect to the TV to watch netflix/hulu
-store and view pictures
-simple editing of digital video (cutting, adding music)

I would prefer to have:
-Webcam
-Nice built in speakers
-Long battery life
-Windows 7 (not 8)

Any suggests on specific models/deals? Any suggestions on feature/issues I should consider I have not thought of?

It has amazing sound quality, Hd resolution, Very good prosessor. With the side that it has a terrible graphics card, it is the laptop i reccomend to you my friend.
