but yeah i need one for when i am away from my desktop. for working on papers, researching projects on internet, etc.  and i wouldnt' need one but i'm away from desktop alot and when i'm home is only when i can work. so i was thinking of getting a notebook for this reason.

that laptop will do fine for what you need it to do.  acer is a good brand

[dlewis23]

starship_troopers don't worry about what they said on cnet, that notbook is more then adequate for what you want it to do. you will enjoy it.

welcome to the forum

i have a laptop but totally diff from yours
high end, heavy as a brick

[RyanS]

hi just- thanks for the welcome. 

[Swimmer]

that look like a really good choice.. just a little over 6lbs.. 

Yeah.. like dlewis said.. cnet seem to be a bit bias to neat features and performance.. Most of the time if you look at what the users say they rate the product higher than the original "expert"..

[RyanS]

yeah i know what you mean. the longest thread i've seen there was talking about what kind of top of the line laptop to buy. ended up as 4000+ when i found a link to similar one but with 256mb less ram for 2800 

[dlewis23]

starship_troopers cnet is not the best place to ask about any computer or computer part that is considered low end becaue they are all about high end and the put down anyone that just needs something simple and not too powerfull. Testmy.net is the only forum that ive found were people don't put down anything that you want to buy they may suggest something a little better but they wount put you down.

when i signed up here, first thing i realized was this is way better than cnet. members here actually help with your questions and you can post "off topic" and not get yelled at by the mods. lol

He is ok starship_troopers, but what he said.

i have another question. i may want to upgrade some time later to a dvd burner drive...would that be easy enough? and also....i doubt this would be needed but would there be a way that later i could get just a bit better video/graphics card? the default one is integrated so i don't think it's possible but just trying to make sure 

thanks,
