Some notes.
Upgrading
2GB Memory (75-85$ shipped via the egg. Its 150$ to do it at HP)
7200RPM Sata HDD (95+$ at the egg, its 150$ or so at HP)
I may upgrade it to a DVD Burner as well. Probably not. I have the desktop to do that.
Usage
Basically I'm gonna use this for programming. That's my major (I graduate next year thank god, 5 years is a long time). Its gonna fold when not in use.
Questions
Power usage - when that is plugged in how many watts do you think its gonna use? My thinking is I should not have my Desktop using 300+ W on and folding all the time, it uses just far too much power, and I don't want the parents to pay for that. If it was half of that or less, I would fold on the laptop 24/7.
