I hope to get a bachelors degree in game art and design at the art institute of california. I'll need a laptop that can handle any potential programs that I'll need for those classes which, at this time, I have no idea what they'll be or if they'll be, was hoping if somebody here knew more about that stuff. You see, I know only basic things about computers which makes it hard to know what I'll need. I'm interested in the HP Pavillion zd8000 because of my readings on Zdnet.com, but any input is greatly appreciated.
