So I have decided my next computer will be a laptop that will also serve all the needs met by my old desktop. Memory-wise this is no mean feat since the upper-end iPod Nano now has as much memory as my trusty old desktop. But, I want to make sure that what I get will stay serviceable for the next few years as well, so I've kept my eye on minimum specs of at least 1GB (preferably 2GB) memory and a pretty fast processor that won't drain my battery when I go mobile. And mobility ... it needs to be WiFi ready.
I really want a MacBook, but right now I honestly just can't afford one that will perform the way I want it to. So I've been searching around and have found a few that have caught me eye. One is the HP dv8301nr, but I'm skittish about HP ... and I'm not sure it's quite the powerhouse I'm looking for. The one I'm most leaning towards is the Sony VAIO® VGN-FE770G.

Anyway, please give me whatever feedback you can muster ASAP since I plan on making the big purchase in the next day or two. As a sub-topic, if you are so inclined, what can I expect to have to buy in order to outfit my little abode for WiFi use? Is it a simple transition or am I going to have to bribe my little brother's super-computer savvy friend with free beer in order to get me hooked up?
Let me know!
As a thank your for helping me out, please accept this track of the forthcoming Beck album as a token of my appreciation. The bridge in this tune is glorious and I only wish it was longer.
