^ thats why im prolly grabbing a mini, i can throw it in a bookbag easily or something, bring it on the plane wo it lugging a heavier laptop in a over the shoulder bag, or hold it in my hand you know
plus i got this iphone so i want something compatable with the shit, i had a bigger laptop and that shit was just too lunky. just like the old ps2's before the slims.
edit: as far as your desktop you should just back up your important shit on a few discs, get a entirely clean harddrive, run a new windows on it, get more memory, a graphics card, a new hd monitor, and your set..your computer will be new just in the same box.
or you could just try reformatting if you dont need a higher quality.....which works better than youd think..anytime i reformat my computer acts brand new

That's not necessarily true anymore. If you go to Best Buy, they got some desktops with nice specs for around $300-$400 (monitor not included, of course). When you go to build one that is comparable to the specs of these desktops, the motherboard is going to run you around $150, the tower can be up to $50 or more depending on your preference, 3 GB of RAM will be around $70, DVD/CD burner at least $50, a CPU can be anywhere from $120-$300, Hard Drives can be had for around $50-$100 and a graphics card is going to run around $100 (for a cheap one). That's anywhere from $650-$800. You can get all that shit here for $370:

I'm not saying Compaq is a great brand of computer, but it's good for the price. So unless you know somebody who can hook you up with everything you need to build a comparable computer at a low price, you might be better off going to Best Buy and checking what they have to offer.
Personally, I build all my computers, but I prefer certain brands of components because I feel they are of better quality. If I was looking for the cheaper route, I'd just go buy one from Best Buy.

You can pick up a laptop for around 3-400 if your timing is right. Walmart had some a while back for 298.

I picked up an acer full size laptop for 299.99 at office max during back to school weekend. With the thanksgiving rush coming up in november I would expect walmart to start flipping a few of the 300.00 full size laptops.
Just depends on how long you want to hold out for a good deal. The acer I got for 299 has a 15" screen and a dvd burner. Windows vista was it's only flaw.

yo SAV to keep it real the way to go is a laptop, and buy an external monitor so u can connect it. that way u got both options. I bought a MacBook Pro for about 1700....and i bought a good 21 inch HD monitor for under 200 (HP brand)..... so i got a desktop and when i want to, a laptop. (of course u gotta buy a keyboard and mouse to use it while the laptop is closed, or u can just keep it open and have 2 screens... trust me its the way to go. the MacBook Pros are real cheap right now especially the 13" ones.... if u interested in this setup lemme know and i will post some links on some deals..
