Not much to go on there. Some are inexpensive, some are expensive.

i like 14W over 15 inch (more portable)

Bluetooth a must (who needs doogle sticking out of their laptop when you can get them built in)


toshiba i hear is the best (HP seems to copy their styles)

Price versus power this is good enough http://shopping.dallasnews.com/ROP/ads.a...=20006221&type=

Web cam and mic built in is bonus

if you can afford more try to get one with dedicated memory for video rather than shared (with the RAM)

good luck

1024mb of ram is system memory, 260gb hard drive is were you will store your music movies documents and anything else. ram is for the system to use and usually the more you have the faster the computer will be.

this computer has a 14.1inch screen and can be customized with a 45nm dual core and 2gbs of ram.

this is a 15inch screen and a 45nmdual core and 2gb of ram. this one is a little cheaper than the 14.1inch.

it can be, but not always. compare prices at your local best buy or electronics shop before you buy to make sure you get the best deal. dont get anything less than 2gb of ram and a dual core processor or you will have trouble with vista.
