I will be needing a laptop to play dvds at regular speed...no buffering or freezing. Could someone tell me what is the fastest internet service? I can surf the internet anywhere, right? I told you I was a noob. If someone could recommend a really good monitor brand that would be great. A really good picture is important to me. I will also be using it for college papers, assignments, logging into online classrooms. I want to have video clips on it but the internet is very important to me. I was looking at alienware laptops but I really don't know what I'm looking for. Could someone either start me out or make a recommendation. I'm looking for a sleek design mixed with funcionability. I'm not interested in purchasing anyone's old laptop nor am I building my own. Thanks for any help.
