I will be in Pittsburgh from (early morning) April 16th through (late afternoon) April 22nd.

If you would like more information, you probably already know how to reach me.

So, I can't afford it right now, but I've been looking at laptops, since my old one has motherboard/harddrive problems and is out of warranty. (3 years old!)

I'm looking at the ulta-portable class of laptops. Yes, I want it to be able to launch wow, but I don't expect it to hold up well.

Does anyone have any opinions about these:

Sony VAIO TZ Series.
Fujitsu Lifebook T4220; P1620
Toshiba Protege R500
ThinkPad X61S

Other suggestions of things to look at? I'm still well within the "dreaming" phase of this process.

Spore has finally been given a release date. September 7, 2008.
