well im thinking of getting a laptop, but i have no idea what to choose. I have a tight budget, i need a laptop thats less than 1200, but performs well, and isnt to heavy. i would use it for some games (possibly the sims, dumb games like that), graphic + photo editing, internet/email, music downloading/burning, stuff like that. so far im looking at the dell 700m. anyone have any advice?
