I want to purchase on of those small laptops for my daughter for Christmas. She is a teacher's assistant at a University, working on her Masters Degree. They have wi-fi at the University. She said everyone keeps a laptop right on their desk and they research stuff as the professor is talking! I've looked into the Sony Vaio vgn-T350P. At circuit city, it is around $2100. Upon doing a search through bixrate for the best price, it had a web site out of Europe. It was : http://www.flamingo-systems.com/item...25&id=35563811 The price was like $400.00 dollars cheaper there! I am skeptical from ordering out of the country though. I was also looking at the IBM thinkpads. I just read Cyllabus's recommendation for the Dell Latitude X1. There are too many to chose from. Because they are so small, should one buy an extended warranty on it?
