Maybe this one?

You know, when I woke up this morning, I thought, "Hey, today's a good day to spam my flist with computer specs." No, really, I didn't. Sorry. BUT:

Satellite M500-ST6444 ($655.00)

• Intel® Core™ i3-330M Processor 2.13 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache, 1066MHz DDR3
• Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• 3GB DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM (2048MB+1024MB)
• 250GB HDD (5400rpm, Serial-ATA)
• Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD
• DVD SuperMulti (+/-R double layer) drive
• Customizable, so if I want more of any of these things, I can get them.

Maybe? I don't know. I read some scary things about the Sonys and now I am a quivering ball of indecision. Seriously, it's worse than trying to ask a guy out on a date. Because dates don't cost you $700 and imply a minimum 2 year commitment.

Hey, I asked my tech guru for a rec for you and he picked out something. I'll c&p the specs as soon as the email arrives. He works for one the component manufacturers and really knows his hardware.

Hi, here you go: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/load_configuration.do?destination=review&email_id=1552753&jumpid=in_r329_emailconfig

That was his recommendation for stuff that works together well, though he also rec'd a desktop machine if you don't move your computer around much. Easier to change out one component if it breaks.

Cool, thanks! I don't think I could get a desktop, though. I don't move the computer much, but I don't actually have desk space, so the laptop mostly lives on my coffee table.

Fair enough, lol...no space is no space. :)
