Hey all,
I want a laptop under 14", thin and light to take from work to school. I don't really do any gaming, just a lot of MS office use (excel, PP, word, access, project), listen to music, surf the web, maybe watch the odd movie.
I don't want to spend more then $1300 including tax, and am in Canada, so I cannot buy from many online retailers, i.e. newegg.
I recently saw the W7S-A1W for $1300 all in - here are the specs:
