I am looking for a laptop to use in a college setting. I have a nice desktop and so this is more so for me to carry from class to class. And not alot of gaming will be done on it, at the most CS 1.6 and UT2004.
I want it for those long plane flights and to be really trendy at my local starbucks 
. I will be doing encoding, DVD ripping etc. I also multi task a ton so I was going to go with a duel core proc. I love being able to rip a DVD and still have enough power to run atleast FireFox. I don't want anything less than a gig of RAM simply because I think it is foolish at this point. Oh yes and I want to be running Vista with all of its bells and whistles.
The ones I have narrowed it down to are the Lenovo T60, Sony SZ140, Fujitsu S7110 and ASUS W3J (more of an outside choice)
