re: Laptop advice needed

Will you be using the keyboard and built in mouse? There's some that I can't stand using, keyboards especially. The feel of them and how much you have to depress the buttons varies greatly by brand. I like the dells, so if you are used to them don't overlook that if it won't be docked all the time.

A lot of the asus frames are all plastic and felt cheap to me. I'm rough only stuff so I didn't like that, like their screen opening felt very flimsy compared to other brands.
