Toshiba Satellite M105-S3004 PC Notebook

Pros: You get the most bang for your buck. I love the fingerprint security feature.
Cons: The speakers are not that loud but you can always use headphones or external speakers
15.4" screen was too big for my bag and to heavy to carry around especially when you include the battery, power supply, cds and more. The bag got more than 10 lbs easily. I looked around and m105-s3004 has 100 gigs with 5400 rpm hard drive, 1 gig ram. 14.1" screen. Just what I was looking for. The fingerprint security works wonders. The security does work because I let other people try to log in by swiping their finger but did not let them log in. It also saves some time because you can swipe you finger instead of typing your password. Keep in mind that you need to have your finger moist because it will have a hard time reading your finger print.
