So one of my christmas gifts is a laptop. I want to stay under $700 but I want it to be a good laptop for the $$. It needs to have a built in wireless card and the ram needs to be expandable up to 1g. Im going to be using it for mostly school work and internet but I also want to run all of my music off of it. Let me know what you suggest.
