I want something fairly portable and light but still with enough power to be able to watch HD video files from the HD without stuttering.
I've recently been looking at the Asus U series, the Acer Aspire TimelineX series and the Toshiba Satellite series, as these seem to be most in line with what I'm looking for: thin, sleek, portable and with enough power to get the job done. I just can't seem to decide between them with all the variations and differences.
