So i went to circuit city, laptop searching...and i found a sony vaio and a compaq laptop. and i know you'll jump and say sony! but they both looked really good, same great price, webcam, microphone, everything, processor... they both had everything i needed. My conflict was when i saw that the COMPAQ had a little more (either hard drive memory or RAM, w.e. at the time i knew! lol) so i was here thinking....should i get the sony vaio, or should i get the compaq? after all, the brand is just a shell...but does it REALLY matter? :/ i need help from my techies!!!! =D

yay! ariana thankyou so much!
