Well, I made it though my first year of college without owning a computer, but I'll be transferring to a new school in the fall and think it's time to explore this idea of "efficiently not having to go to the library five times a day."
I really have no idea where to start. Any tips where to buy, how to buy, or what features really are that amazing? How much should I expect to spend on something like this?
Right now my criteria are something like this:
Laptop.
Must be able to run media player, word processing (or maybe not even this since I'm thinking of switching to Google Docs), and the internet.
Lightweight. Definitely under five pounds, and maybe closer to two and a half. I saw one model at Best Buy, which weighed 2.9 lbs. and it was really nice. here it is on yahoo shopping
Thin when closed. Less than 1 ½ inches would be ideal. I want to put it in a bag or something and not have it take up too much space. I don't mind if the screen size is large though.
One last thing I am still trying to decide is whether or not to try to get a laptop with a full size keyboard on it. The keyboard on the lightweight model I mentioned earlier feels really cramped to me, would I get used to this or what?
Thank you.
