Hello Sandi,

You're quite welcome! :-) Glad to see it was helpful!

Personally, I wouldn't go back to a desktop unless I absolutely had to (like I really needed a cheap computer, and then you'd still have to pay extra for a monitor, so there really wouldn't be much savings when you add it all up.) I don't mind desktops, but for me, a laptop saves on space, can do pretty much what I need it to do (surf the Internet, do Internet marketing research and article writing, can play videos and music (especially with high-speed Internet, which I hope to get soon,)) and you can take your laptop with you on the go if need be.

I'd check out several of the electronic retailers (Circuit City, Best Buy, CompUSA, Staples, OfficeMax, OfficeDepot, etc.) as well as online vendors like Newegg.com, Amazon.com, Buy.com, SuperWarehouse.com, etc., read up on the latest laptops, read the reviews, maybe check some of the independent reviewers like PCMag.com, PCWorld.com, and take some time to think about what you want in a laptop and how much you want to spend before you make your final decision.

Also - check out these two sites:

http://www.dealhunting.com
http://www.currentcodes.com

These sites were on the local news here in Cleveland recently - they showed where these little-known codes could save you several hundred dollars on certain computers and laptops - you just input them into the "code" section of the order page, submit them, and observe the adjusted lower price.

Hopefully, this is helpful as well! Good luck in choosing a laptop.

Take care and have a great day!

Sincerely,

Joe Chengery III
