I am in the market for a new laptop for my home/personal use.

For the past three years, I've had a Sony desktop replacement which has been great, but it's outlived it's usefulness. I purchased it during my last year in law school and had slightly different priorities for what I wanted out of a laptop then.

I am looking to replace my current machine with a smaller laptop that weighs less but still has some of the same capabilities. Basically, I would use the laptop to watch DVDs on the plane, work from home or hotel rooms (when not travelling with my work computer) and organize my mp3s and photos. I'd also like to make sure it has built-in wifi capabilities, as I'm tired of carrying my wifi card around!

I have been looking at the Sony TR series (specifically a TR2 or TR3) after doing a search in this forum and really like them. The size and other specifications seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. But it seems they are now phasing them out in favor of the T series.

It would be nice to pick up a TR at the new lower prices, but is there any particular reason why the T series (probably a T150 or T160) would be a better choice?

Are there any other comparable brands/models that I should look at in my search?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
