vaio's are hella nice, but yeah i dunno how you can afford that w/ financial aid lol.

you mean the stuff you gotta pay back? cause i only got a certain amount n that STILL didn't cover my both my semesters anyways.

i got a dell inspiron for less than 500 n its prefectly fine as a school laptop.(and it came w/ xp) but that was also last year.

They don't usually put 7200rpm HDDs in laptops because all the vibrations of moving around a laptop plus faster spinning platters = quick death.

Also, heat.

I think laptops are going to see a turn to SSD in the next 2 years...but they are gonna be DOE at first.

I think they have yet to perfect SSD'd, obviously from that article. The $=GB ratio is fuckin AWFUL on those though.

Ona side not, have you fuced with those new WD VelociRaptors? Im waiting for the smaller version, as the 300GB one is going for $300. I need something a 1/4 of that size.
