  • Wifi and 3G ready, whatever it takes to connect to the web at hotels and coffee shops
  • Cellular internet ready, internal or have a slot for a phone card-thingee, whatever it takes to connect to the web through ATT/Version/Sprint when there is no kind of wifi or connection available.
  • Powerful enough to run Office, Front Page, FTP, and Image Composer, IE and e-mail.
What I would also like but these are more optional:
  • DVD burner (esp. a slot type with no tray )
  • 2GB RAM
  • 40GB or more hard drive/flash memory
I'm open to ideas, suggestions, and especially information from people who are up to date on the latest tech... thanks

Good luck with the XP part . i just bought an intel dual core, 4 gig of RAM, the newest wifi, not g but N. Consumer reports rated it a great buy (it's a gateway) for $750. It does have vista on it It plays SH4 just fine.
