len, thanks for your informative reply. For me my main use for a laptop will be e-mail and internet use. I am really not a PC gamer, I have consoles for that nor do I have to use it for work. I may do some work with Word but that's about it.
Basically repalcing my desktop with something that I am not tied to my desk to use. I have seen the toshiba and Acer for $349 at BB but have read both good and bad for each.
The new notebooks are to small for me. I just don't like them. I think a 15 inch screen is about right. Don't need the Blu Ray but the ability to burn to disks would be something I would use.
I don't need one yesterday and can probably wait till BF if there are good sales on laptops. I can probably get away with one of the $350 laptops since I don't really need tons of processing power. After to talking to a few people I think for the limited amount of things I would do I can probably use a single core instead of a dual.
Thanks again for your reply to my question.
