What components are necessary in a laptop?
I'm heading of to college in the fall, and have decided to get a Toshiba laptop. Now I need to narrow it down more. Just as a warning-I know nothing about computer components!
I will be using it for browsing, miscrosoft office, and the occassional game. I might download some music, but not much, and I don't plan on saving millions of videos/music to my laptop.
I'm also looking for a good price!
Here are my questions:
What size screen- 15.4" or 17"?
How much memory is minimal?
What processor should I get?
How much hard drive space/ RAM (minimal)?
What other options do you reccomend?
I'd like specifics (e.g. 17", Core 2 Duo, 1024MB memory, 1GB RAM....etc)
Thanks!

If you're planning to lug the laptop around campus, I suggest the 15". Carrying an extra pound or two strains the shoulders after a while.
