Sorry this is so long!
please lots of answers because im not "computer savy"
My parents apparently guilty because of the whole divorce thing have agreed to buy me a laptop that would be used for mainly school, entertainment purposes (music, photos, SIMS 2?) and just internet
I was thinking about the Dell 1420 because I thought it was cheaper but on dell.com it takes FOREVER to ship and was leaning just toward the Hp tablet one i can pick up in the store.

- will this allow me (with integrated RAM, processor, graphics card etc.)
- to have my ipod library on it
-my cannon photo library
-play the SIMS 2 (but no other games)
and still have left over memory like just so it doesnt get slow
ON LAST THING
with a virus blocker, does limewire ef up any (specifically that hp tablet) system and slow it down alot because itunes is a ripoff 
thanks!
Hi, I’m going to Illinois Institute of Technology next year. I’m going to specialize in the aerospace engineering program, so I’m going to need programs like Auto-CAD and other large software programs (how much does Auto-CAD take up anyway?). And I suppose I’ll be doing presentations and stuff like that in the near future.
On a personal note, I want a laptop that I can use to burn cds and dvds, handle torrents of downloads, store a LOT of pictures, and watch movies from the internet and DVDs in great, crisp picture quality. I know that the Intel Core 2 Duo is the best right now, but what kind of processor do I NEED for all my stuff? What is the best processor speed, lb cache, etc.? Should I get an Intel 4500 MD graphics card or something better? What is the best sized hard drive for everything I want to do? And last question: is it better to buy a configured laptop online with things like microsoft office pre-installed, or is it better to buy my laptop from the store and buy ms office/ anti-virus separately?
I appreciate any and all help I receive for my questions.
I just got this laptop about a week ago. Im curious as to how good it is based on my needs. Right now it blazingly fast even after anti-virus and all those annoying auto-updates and programs that run in the background
Specs
HP HDx 18
1920 x 1080p full res 18" screen
2.66 intel core 2 duo processor
6 gb ddr3 memory
1 gb nvidia 130 m graphics card
640 raid 0 (7200 rpm hard drive)
intel next gen wirless with bluetooh
blu-ray with light scribe and supermulti
i basically use it to run office word/spreadsheet/powerpoint. browse the internet. watch tons of video files (youtube, divx, movies, megashare). i sometimes use photoshop along with other adobe files but rarely. also the laptop remains completley stationary on my desk the whole time, i rarely ever travel with it (like never) but want the mobility option.
when i bought it i only paid 1400 for it after taxes due to coupon codes i had and i dont play games, never have never will
