1. What is your budget?
--at least $500, up to $800

--15'? I've read that the larger screens are a neccesity for programming, but have been using an Aspire One for school so far.
3. What screen resolution do you want?
--no preference, but im use to 1680 x 1050 on my desktop
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
--portable
5. How much battery life do you need?
--probably wouldn't even need 6 hours, but thats what i'd shoot for. i should be able to keep it plugged in whenever i need to use it
