I thought about getting an ipaq or dell thingy, but I decided that I would want a laptop. Two reasons. 1, I am going into computer engineering, and my first semester at Michigan will have a class that is all programing, and 2 I want something that can do more than type, not like game, but like for powerpoint or something along those lines. I thought about a mac, but programming would be rather difficult, so I looked at pc's. I dont need anything high end, like I said, that is what my desktop is for, Im just wondering which works best, like the lifetime of the thing and battery life. Thanks for the advice.
