Rhapsody - just a question.

Is it going to be stationary (as in on a desk) or do you want the ability to move it around? Depending on that you could look at the difference between a laptop and a notebook (as the notebooks are smaller and lighter).

I don't have much experience with laptops - the one I own is a Dell Inspiron 1150 and it works fairly well but is out of date now that it is a total of 2 (lol) years old!

Good luck finding one
