Did I mention I hate to shop.
That said I went to Best Buy and looked on the Dell site,
Processors OPINIONS Please!
Ok $569 laptop with 17" screen
AMD Turion II duel core M520
or
NEW 2010 IntelŪCore™ i3 - 330M
Or for another $80
Intel's latest Core i3 and Core i5 processors
Plus another 1GB memory (but I don't use much memory as I put important files on a thumb)
I am leaning toward a laptop. My other option is to get a mini ($275) use it for the web and travel and set up a desktop when we are somewere (the villages probably) perminant. I will have to decide if I will want to run design software for my stained glass if so I will have to get a destktop later as it won't run well on a laptop or so I was told by gracie's geek squad.
