Don't know about a webcam (some models come with one). About the only issue is the sound is not very loud in Linux (but it is in Windows) but it does work. One can be had for about $500 USD up to $1800?. Battery life on my Dell Vostro 1500 (9 cell) is from 5 to 7 hours. As for your cable modem, ANY recognized ethernet card will work, your cable modem does not care about the OS. If the OS can work the ethernet card, your cable modem will work. I do not remember the last time I found an ethernet card that did not work. It has been years. I suppose you can still find one, but the odds are if you grab a box off the shelve, install Linux on it, at least the ethernet will work. HTH -- Damon L.
