What kind of laptop are u guys using?

Hey whats up,
I have an hp laptop,but it has a 17" screen and its too big and bulky to be putting on my lap and on the passenger seat.I wanna buy a small cheap laptop with a screen in the 14"-15" screen size range.I seen a nice laptop in best buy today that had a swivel screen.Also,if i get one with too small of a screen,will it be ok?I remember reading someone has to buy a new laptop when he downloaded the new version of hp tuners.Something to do with the screen resolution or something?I dont know.

ive got an HP as well.. i love it, white and silver limited edition

Im in the computer industry, tablet (swivel screen), are cool, except usually you pay more than you need to for it, especially when most dont use the tablet portion all that much.

I think this was a bit of exaggeration, however we are looking into why the column widths changed when net framework 2.0 was employed and will attempt to put it back the way it was before the change if at all possible. In the meantime, It just means you will need to scroll left & right about an inch on a 14.1" screen.

I've been using my trusty gateway with 14.1" screen for over two years now without issue.
