First of all, do all new notebooks EXCEPT "netbooks" have a DVD-CD drive? What is the minimum screen size to effectively use photoediting programs such as GIMP? What's the difference between Intel Core 2 and Pentium, etc? Do laptop brands and models differ in the effectiveness of their wireless reception? If so, which brands have the best? And what is Wireless N Technology? Thanks! There are full size laptops in the price range of those netbooks now...perhaps they will suit your needs better. Clik Here for example...there are others. Quote And what is Wireless N Technology? A reference: 802.11n Wireless Technology Overview. I don't think I'd be too concerned with the lack of it in a new computer. It's still a technology that's EVOLVING. Is a desktop system an option for a new computer? They would give you the capbability of larger screens. With laptops, the 15.4" Widescreen is a common size.
