That computer with those types of specks would probably cost about $900 in my area without that 4 years service. On a laptop, those same specs could go for around $2300. Portability is incredibly expensive.

Take for instance my digital camera, it takes much better photos than my camera phone and it costs just $30. My camera phone costs $300.

But as Unne said, I've had problems with laptops. The monitors are very poor in quality and the hinges break very easily. If you want something slim and portable...try a small hardrive and a flatscreen. I think Dell sells a hardrive that's the size of a DVD case.
