a | light, portable laptop [4 lbs] with slow processor
b | fast, powerful laptop [6 lbs] with 50% more weight

considerations :: i'll be travelling more [so vote a??], but i'm also going to start video-blogging [so vote b???]

what say you? what did you buy for yourself? please share your regrets [technological or otherwise]

skirting the issue of whether you should pepper your university with advertisements promoting your university to people who already attend..... we can all agree that there is no reason tell people how to get to the university after you have already arrived.
