However, I have got the thoughts and opinions that notebooks are still not nearly powerful adequately to be a wise decision if you usually do jobs that require many power, for instance video editing. But for internet surfing, statement processing, and the majority of other common computer work they are just fine, provided you never mind the little screen size. Thank you sharing your notions.
