    I know this post probably sounds redundant, but I'm really having trouble deciding what will fit me best. I've been back and forth between these models for weeks and just can't make a decision! My main priority is Microsoft Office, so I don't need something that will power CAD or any engineering stuff. But I do want it to run as fast as possible. I also like to play games and I need to play DVDs since I dont have a dvd player. So all in all I need something fast, reliable, and somewhat portable. I probably won't need to bring it to class, but I want to keep that option open unless I ever have to. Hp is the best option since it has the student discount (except for Dell, but I didn't like them). I need it to last 4 years, however, seeing that I will be broke after this purchase! $1600 max!
