My current laptop it like on it's last leg. I want to get a new one but I have some specifications. I need to to be as small as possiable but still work as a normal computer.I can't get an apple b/c the site I have to use for my online classes doesn't support apple browsers. I have seen some sony vaios. Thoese are the size that I like. My budget is like MAX 3000. Can anyone help me out?

Go to futureshop and tell them what you need it for and what kind your looking for and they'll show you around and give you ideas and such.

Oh didn't see the part about not being able to get an Apple. Yeah but for 3 grand you can get a pretty nice laptop.

why not get an apple?

since they run intel chips now, you can boot into mac os or windows...

seems a shame not to..

thats the great thing about the mactel (mac + intel) computers - they can boot into either or.

which means, it is either a full mac os running, or a full windows running. no virtual machine at all...

of course, that also brings virtual machines into play... but thats a different story..

hmm.. small video editing. id say at least a gig of ram (1GB) for a minimum, 2GB would be better.

about 100GB or more for hard drive space.

id try to get XP Professional, Vista is too new. [and in my opinion, too full of shit..]

dvd roms are the basic thing for a laptop these days.

hmm..
