    Merry Xmas - Help me chose a new laptop!

    Cool. Thanx. I will think about it and see what makes sense. So can I customize but still buy through best buy or no?

    Merry Xmas - Help me chose a new laptop!

    Yeah. The thing that sucks is that if I want to migrate to a laptop, I will lose my XP Pro. I don't even know if I can sell this XP Pro to anyone since I "activated it"...unless I sell it along with my desktop. Who knows. I don't think running video files on a USB 2.0 connected hd is a big...
