I would be inclided to agree with you - 1 thing. No CD/DVD drive. There have been several times I needed them in my time as a student.

this is true, but, $40 gets u a small external cd/dvd drive

I have a netbook and a 17" laptop, personally i dont recommend a 17" because it doesn't fit on desks in college. as for the netbook, it is freakin clutch for taking notes/surfing web and what not. tho i dont game on it because it is only 1.6 ghz. i would recommend a 15" laptop, like everyone else says.

here you go, $699 before tax & shipping

14"
2 x 2.2ghz, should be mmo friendly

Nice find Scotzo. That should play Eve with little/no problems. It even has an eSata port.

The Mobility Radeon 4650 will play ANY game TTP (currently) hosts. It's what my laptop has in it.
