Ok, so I dont anything about Laptops. I could look at specs for different ones all day long, and still not know which one would be better. Im lookin to buy one in the near future to use for things like photo editing (mostly this), internet browsing, loading my Zune, and burnin CD's. I know a few things I need, but its all the no brainer type of stuff.
-A quality, decent sized screen. (For photo viewing, and maybe watching a movie)
-Lots of RAM. (Trying to avoid lag while making brush strokes in editing)
-Lots of USB ports. (Will be hookin up a mouse, card reader, external HD, printer, and Zune. Not all at once, but hookin up 3 at once would be nice)
-CD-R/W drive. (For backin up photos, buring discs, and wathing the occasional video)
Thats all I can think of now. Suggestions would be good tho. Im not so worried about size and weight, or battery life since I wont be using it away from a power source very often. Also, Im tryin to stick in the 400-500 dollar price range, give or take a bit. Not lookin for a specific brand, but dont want cheap crap. Again, suggestions on what to look for would be cool. Thanks.
