    Ive finally made my decision to just save some money and go with a Gateway. I am looking at the M250 and M360.....both are the same price with the same options.

    I want something somewhat portable, at least fit into my backpack to haul to the library and the coffee shop or something trendy like that. Do you find your 15.4" too cumbersome? Doesnt seem like the size difference is all that much really...

    M250 - 13 x 9.7 x 1.2
    M360 - 14.09 x 10.39 x 1.3 - only about 1" wider and deeper.

    Dell 2650 (on currently) - 12.9 x 10.8 x 1.42 - I find this size plenty mobile, although I wish it was thinner.

    What size did you go with and why? Wpuld you consider your M360 thin/light?

    I'd go with the smaller unit, it will be lighter as well.
