Hello,

I'm saving up to buy a laptop and I'm still not sure on exactly which kind I would like to get. I'm planning on getting a really nice one for when I go off to college next year. Anyways, I would only be using it to write papers, search the net, download a few things, and maybe watch a few videos on it. I'd appreciate any reccomendations any of you would be willing to give. Thank you in advance for any help.

The new 45nm Core 2 Duos have some pretty cool power-saving enhancements and are really fast, I'd wait a little longer until those have come down in price.

Yep .... next year is 10 months away ...... a long time in the PC World and lots will happen between now and then.
As Carbon said the new 45mm cpus will be around by then and probably loads of bargains on the other cpu laptops, as peeps scramble for the new stuff.

Have another look in about 9 months time.
