Gotta buy a new lap top....thoughts?

[BrianG]

I still prefer a full custom built desktop at home as everything is a lot easier/cheaper to fix, and they can do anything with power to spare. Other times, I use my phone for internet/email/etc. I have a couple of older still perfectly usable laptops but they hardly get used unless I travel for vacation or something.

By the way, has anyone tried Ubuntu 11 yet? It's the first time I installed Linux on a new box and and old box where it found all the hardware perfectly. Usually, I have to fiddle with the command line to get stuff to work. And the UI seems quite usable too. I find myself working with it more and more unless I want to play games or something.
