Also, HTML tags don't work on most forums. Just a heads up.

Well not much, but in the notEbook forum, theres always someone stating that they dont have any clue what laptop to buy! why is it such a hard choice?

yeah, when people ask about suggestions for laptops, it's because of specs mostly rather than for how-to-use.
