Thank you so much for everyone's advice. Unfortuatly, I think computer brands are one of those things that everyone seems to have a different opinion on. I have read reviews upon more reviews and I think I settled on a good one. I got fed up with mine when I got home from work today so I just went and bought my new one!
They are optimizing it for me so I won't get it until later tomorrow morning. My major deciding factors (aside from the technical aspects
) were weight and color/style. Whatcha think? I think it's pretty!!
