It depends on what you want to do with it. I love my Twinhead Powerslim, because it's only 3.5 pounds and I can take it anywhere, but I payed extra ($1760 for a Pentium 300 computer) and got a smaller screen for the low weight. For me it was worth it, but your tradeoffs may be different. I bought my computer through www.discountlaptops.com. They seemed like they had good deals (on various laptops), and they sold me my laptop without Windows installed. Best, Dylan Thurston
