My hp was kinda nice. It has a short-ish battery life (2-3 hours) but is strong enough and didn't cost much (around 800). Honestly, what I found the most important in getting that laptop (my second one) was the noise factor. I'd much rather have a smaller, comfortable and quiet laptop, than the older stronger one I had. It's not so great when you have a laptop that sounds like a hairdryer and burns the hair off your legs, a bit embarassing to pull out in cafes/public places.
Pretty much every laptop nowadays has internet capabilities, both wired and wireless, so that shouldn't be a problem. Be sure to check the WiFi is at least 54 Mbps though. Also, I think you'd have to look hard to find a laptop that doesn't have a CD burner - many will have DVD player/CD burner combos, but I think full DVD burners are becoming more common now. Get one of those if you can

I was looking at some laptops last night and "building" a custom one, just for the heck of it, until I came to a screen that told me to choose my "external" monitor. Any idea what that means? It showed a couple flatscreen monitors on stands, and also some things that looked almost like surge protectors but with USB ports instead of outlets.
I was under the impression that a laptop has no need of external monitors because its monitor is built-in. That was confusing.
They are probably just trying to sell you extras with your laptop. Most laptops nowadays can connect to an external screen (pretty convenient) but you don't need one.
I've heard good things of acer too. Good advice from beo yeah!
I've been combing the Acer site...it's kind of confusing and I have to download the price lists, but I don't have Excel on my computer so...that kind of sucks. I've never even heard of Acer!
