I've finally saved up some cash and am looking to replace my aging and massive laptop.
I haven't looked terribly hard so far, but this is what I am looking for:
1. Ultraportable. Small, lightweight, and great on battery.
2. Decent CPU (I was thinking Intel Core 2 ~7500 or whatever?)
3. 2GB RAM (Vista :argh:)
4. Any video card, intel graphics is fine.
5. Much prefer to have a DVD burner built in, but if not I can buy a USB one off Newegg.
6. Widescreen > 4:3 but I am not picky on this.
7. Must have wireless, at least 2 USB, and ethernet port.
8. For God's sake no tablets!
Basically I'm most interested in having something I can easily carry around and can at least run Photoshop/Office. That's about it though.
I've looked at Lenovo, and I really am digging their X61 series (non-tablet version) Thinkpad. It's got a lot of crap, and after configuring my own I came up with this:
for $1469USD. (Before shipping and tax)
Anyway, good/bad and any other suggestions would be awesome.
