One last thing, if you buy a laptop with a Solid State Drive (SSD) make sure you get an Intel SSD. They are the ONLY proven "long lasting" (2+ years) SSD currently. Others have quite the turn over rate and dont last as long, have more problems, etc. Sure, they work, they're fast, but you're on borrowed time and its a total crapshoot when that thing will keel over on you.
Spend the extra money up front now and get yourself a rock solid one that WILL last and has proven to do so. I dont care what others say, try finding a thread on ANY computer message forum that complains about the Intel SSD. It wont be an easy task.
