About Lauren Bennett
Expertise
I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.

Experience
B.S. in Computer Science. Buying and selling for years. Assisting friends/family.

Education/Credentials
B.S. in Computer Science

Past/Present clients

Answer
I would check out the Sony VGN-FE890 found here:

If you are getting Vista, I'd go with Home Premium

You'll be fine with 1 GB of RAM at 667 Mhz (thats what I have on my notebook and it runs heavy duty stuff perfectly).  You'll want to get at least a Core 2 Duo at 1.66 Ghz.

It is the computer that best meets your requirements.  I'd also recommend getting the on-site warranty as well (I'll never buy without it!).

Let me know if you have any questions when you start to check out the computer or if there is something you don't like about it!
