Beloved flist, lend me your opinions!

The laptop I have now is slowly dying after three years of devoted service, and I'm in the market for a new one.

Talk at me about your laptop? What brand is it? RAM, storage space, how much you paid for it, bits you like, bits you don't like? Do you have Vista? How's it working for you? :) Aside from "wireless internet" and "lots of storage space" requirements, I'm open to suggestions/sermons ;)

Argh. Just when I'd almost convinced myself to stop checking out laptops.

I'm guessing battery life would be a big issue for you, and maybe an ergonomic type keyboard?

Hey, if you're feeding your addition for the good of someone else, it doesn't count, right? Just like any calories consumed in front of a TV don't count... *evil grin*

I hadn't thought of battery as much of an issue, although that could just be because I practically live on my bed (*insert joke-quelling glare here*) which is right near a power board... Also, you can get ergonomic laptop keyboards? or do you mean an ergonomic keyboard you can plug into the laptop?

Ah, I think of you as having your laptop with you everywhere, writing madly, even though I know you have paper notepads.

I don't know (yet), though if you're having problems from spending all your time typing, it's worth investigating. I guess a tablet hybrid would allow you to write longhand or type.
