I have a desktop, and sorry about that confusing post, i was in the middle of networking class and my mind was slightly fried, anyways, flying pretty much had it right, I will be used for studying late at night so it cannot be loud (entire reason for it since my desktop sounds like a monster) and for roaming around so im not locked up in my dorm (so it has to have a good battery).
Basically, web surfing, using Word ect. No games since my Desktop is very nice as is.
I have a bout 500-1k to spend on it, and I have no idea how to build a laptop so I will just buy it from one of the online companies.
Thanks guys and sorry about the confusing post heh.
P.S. I do want it to be fairly fast on accessing programs, and it does NOT have to have to big of a HDD since anything vital will be transferred onto my Desktop for extra safety. a DVD-RW/CD-RW drive would be nice, but doenst have to be DVD-RW since my Desktop can handle that part, just so I can watch a movie if I am done studying and just want to let my mind wander =)
