SO ENTERTAINING
It may be time to buy a new computron...as much as I don't want to. If I do, I want something portable (small, durable, light weight) affordable (i so have not budgeted for another new computer) fun (built in webcam) and pretty (gotta have some style yo).
So not knowing much about computers I've just been looking at Dell (b/c they have an advertisement in the paper)...I like the Inspiron 1420 in spring green (I really like that you can pick your color!!) for an extra 40$ you can add a built in webcam bringing it to ~ $840

I've also looked at the Inspiron 1501 (which isn't as pretty) - it's a widescreen (15.4"), nothing too special except it's cheaper ~ $550 and no webcam.

Thoughts? Opinions? ...I know it won't be for a lil while before i do buy, i'm gonna wait til old butternut officially gets the bucket...but i'd like to start thinking about it. And i think i'm definitely going with a new computer...my last 2 laptops were at least 2 years old receiving them...it's time to start fresh i think...and this time I will do my best to not spill on it, drop it or anything else harmful to it!

Do not buy a Dell laptop. Their desktops are decent, but stay away from all else. Also, be mindful of the OS. If it is Vista, then make sure that the computer has an excess of 1GB RAM. This is because Vista requires nearly this much to run it, which is insanely high. For laptops, unless you're into Macs, look at Toshiba Satellites.

I actually recently bought mahself a new Toshiba Satellite U300, and it's working out great. Small and lightweight, this thing will be great for taking on the road. No complaints about it... yet.

Look around to find the best deal, but mine was a grand, plus tax. This didn't include Microsoft Office, but this is easily remedied by downloading Open Office for free.

I would vote for a Satellite too. They're surprisingly durable.
