Recovery Disk Laptops

by condensateeinstein Dec 16, 2009 9:59AM PST

How intricate is the process of creating a recovery disk, for a new laptops? (Which I'm told manufactures no longer provide)

Also which laptop would be the better choice?
1) http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a505-s6960/4505-3121_7-33695843.html?tag=mncol;lst (Toshiba Satellite A505-S6960)
2) http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/sony-vaio-vgn-nw240f/4505-3121_7-33776112.html?tag=mncol;lst (Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F)

I am leaning slightly towards the Toshiba, but many reviews to me seem to over exaggerated the weight. Is it really that important, and yes I will be carrying it around campus. (In fact, I tried to find out myself by trying to carry the Toshiba model at BestBuy , but the alarms sounded...so yea..)
