My budget probably won't exceed $500 and I'd like to get the best bang for my buck. I know very little about the mobile computing world, so I'm not quite sure how far this will get me.
Anyway, my priorities are fast booting and processing, lightweight, and a decent battery life (hopefully 5+ hours). I won't be playing games on it as I have my desktop for that. Size of hard drive doesn't matter as I'll rarely save things on the computer itself. Screen size isn't too important; probably 12"+ though. I don't care about blu-ray. Touchscreen would be cool, but I certainly do not expect it in a system at this budget. I'm open to running linux to save from buying an OS. If you need more info on what I want out of this system, please ask.
Thanks a bunch to anyone who posts suggestions!
