Originally posted by flowerchild:looking for a laptop/notebook I mainly wanna go online with and write, maybe watch a dvd, too. it shouldn't be too chunky either. looking at the offers at my local store, they're mostly selling acers, but I'm not a huge fan of those. anyone got any tips?

I'm more of an HP fan but Asus and Lenovo are the best among the cheaper options. Asus has a good customer service too so any problem should be solved easily. Let us know how it goes Jana! 
Oh well, I wasted 100 points or whatever on them. No matter anyway, wouldn't have used them otherwise. Torrents get on my nerves honestly
