laptops
Researching 12-inch laptops. Which do you think looks best?
Note: I'm not looking for a Mac/PC holy war. I'm looking at value for the money, both in terms of features listed here and in terms of other things you may know about these computers. I'm also looking for key features you think I might have forgotten to include. Stuff like that.

Though I just skimmed facebook, and it seems that one or two of my friends actually were Philosophy majors without me knowing it. I also knew a couple PPE majors (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics all in ome; I think it's a Penn thing) who I guess would know at least a bit about the department. I can put you in touch with one Philosophy major if you'd like, if it's okay with her. (And if she's not already reading this...)
