I am planning to fork over a solid grand for a laptop. I am not interested in a desktop, as I do not require too much power. Moreover, I work better in comfort, cross-legged in my couch.
I was checking out a Toshiba that has 16GB RAM, 500GB HD, and 17.3" screen. Lovely little thing.
I do graphic arts and music, so I was fascinated by it. Also a little gaming here and there.
