Don't really know yet. The ThinkPad T430 seems like it fits my needs but is pretty chunky. The XPS 13 also could work.

3 years

None, I can always buy an external USB one later.
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I'm partial to PC's just because I have more experience with them and you can get more for less than Macs.

USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I'm going to be a freshman in college this fall with the plan to major in engineering and my 4 year old HP won't cut it anymore (obviously). I don't game at all anymore so I don't think that I need a dedicated video card. As far as RAM goes I do want at least 8 GB because making music can consume a lot of memory. Weight is a concern here but I'm thinking that anything sub 5.5 lbs is fine. Since it is college and I won't be plugged in all the time, I'd like to have decent battery life too.
