I need a laptop

the BSB - for what you're gonna do (write papers, look at porn, emailing adult film stars), that Sony VAIO will be fine. The memory is a bit on the weak side, and may be worth getting another stick of 512 to boost it up to 1GB, but not completely necessary. What you should do is spend some money on hardware security. A laptop lock and be sure you can secure it to your desk while you're not around...laptops are quite easily stolen.

the one other thing i'd consider is the port replicator...hook up a standard mouse, keyboard and monitor and you have a decent workstation. or at least a mouse to the setup. i hate those damn thumbpads.

Go to OpenOffice.org if you want a great (and free) alternative to MS Office (if you can't get it cheap at the UMD bookstore).
