I often get asked “what laptop should I buy?”. This really comes down to your requirements. For me, they are:
- light weight
- good battery life
- small size – I don’t want to be forced to buy any new carry bags because of it, I want it to be a replacement of my old one
- powerful – I want it to be more like a full sized computer and less like a sluggish netbook
I settled on the Asus PL30JT-RO025X, which can be had for just under $1500. For those who are interested my comparison of several similar contenders is below:

Good operational fundamentals, ideal for my next semester of University.
Nick you might want to consider the weight of your proposed laptop if you are going to be hauling it around uni, with text-books, semester after semester…a light weight does make a big difference.
