Hi Everyone,
I have an opportunity to get a new computer and need to act fairly quickly. 
My desktop is 7 years old and fading fast.
Here are my questions for all of you.
First, I'm thinking to go with a laptop rather than a tower and would like 
to hear opinions on the subject.  My sense is that laptops can be just as 
powerful as towers and could then be portable if necessary.
Second, what brands and/or specs in laptops are needed for best performance 
with all our screen-reading jazz?
I was just looking around online and suddenly felt dizzy!  Looking at HP 
laptops, for instance, the home and student edition looked like they had 
more RAM and storage space than the models listed as professional.  What's 
up with that?
Grateful for all and any direction!
Deborah
