    This is a good choice for a notebook given your needs ans the price is good, as well.
    However, I would recommend you the Acer Aspire 2012WLmi which, right now, is at a killer price at www.newegg.com Hopefully you don't mind the 15.4 screen. Just follow the link:
    http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=34-115-116&DEPA=3
    Look around for reviews on the 2012 if you happen to like it. For many people it a 5-star product and has better specs that the TM293LCi. The price of the 2012 is also lower - $1293 (FedEx shipping included).
    Good luck.
