Anywho, laptops for intense visual loads... I will not recommend a laptop at all. Batteries last little over a year, or tend to. The cost of this machine will be just as much or more than a desktop with more specs + a flash card you can take to school and transfer your work, over carrying your tote board and drawing pads with painting mediums in addition to a (most likely) 10+ lb laptop machine. I already tried this for 2 years, after doing what you're doing now. Scavenging the Internet for reviews on the best possible notebook out there for your needs. I'm pretty sure your school has its own set of machines, right? Then why not just bring a flash card along with your school supplies and keep your machine and wacom digital tablet at home? How ya doing, buddy?

Okay...
Can you specifically say why you insisted in getting a laptop for art school, rather than a flash drive and desktop for your home/dorm and transfer data from/to school computers? I just never really see art students, whether they're in 3D animation/modeling, etc., digital design and new media, illustration and so forth bring a laptop to school. >_> G'luck, however, and let us know how well that goes. There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well I've known that instructors have asked for you to drop off your work in a "drop-off" folder within the class folder and then on presentation day he/she just "plays" the work onto the projector for everyone to see from their own seats. Loading photos onto a stick or back into a drive on the computer you're working with is like drag 'n drop. Wouldn't you have to connect your computer to the room's projector in order to present, or have everyone clam heads around your laptop to see your work anyway?
No comments on using MSN >_> This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
