i need it for university work. so basically to enable me to make my work more 'portable' between home and uni. i was going to get one of the sony laptops but then this came up. it has 512mb and 80GB and DVDRW XP pro whatever all of this means. sorry i really don't know much about computer things. i just want to know if hp is a reliable brand or if its better to get another laptop from dell or sony.
thanx.
