Between everyday i'm at college more and more time has me sitting in a line waiting for a damn computer station to use. Its annoying and i've just had it. I recently found out i can get a grant for around $1000 for use on a laptop. Its a perk and i wouldnt want to be using it too early. As i've got 8 more years of college (4year, master/graduate) Thing is i've heard that the grant wont be around come next symester. So i applied and go accepted. But in order to get the money i must purchase a laptop.
What i need: Wireless connectivity, Photoshop capabilities, and more of a personal want is a nice high resolution screen. No crappy 1024x840 please. Also a nice long battery would be nice. I'm looking at 4 hours of use a day or so. I need something light and small. I'm not looking for a laphog.
What i want: A nice audio package, i'm used to 24bit sound out of my pc at home. I would love something just as good if not better. Processing power is negotiable, i need some power but not much. I need more torque if you will. So high speed ram is a necessity, but can be 512. I would love 1gb though. Graphics card, none of that bullshit integrated crap.
I will have around 300bucks to spend immediatly if its around 1300 bucks. but if i can get somekind of one year payment plan or no interest for a 6 months i can pay up too 1800.
Thanks for any help. And yes i'm open to apples as well as oranges.
