Bang for the buck

$799 from newegg
should be able to play WOW super fast at med settings, may dip down to 25fps on high
but you get a bluray drive!
, not worth fixing old ones when new laptops are so cheap (unless its like something easy like an HDD replacement)
you can buy a 3GHz Phenom II

booting from flash is WAY faster than any optical media, however, making a VM of windows 7 + all updates + office and using something like acronis true image backup is EVEN FASTER!
i can image a laptop with an acronis file i less than 10 mins, another 15 mins to hunt for the drivers
after...
i have the vertex 2 as well from OCZ, i wanted the patriot inferno drive but they were sold out :( i think all the sandforce controlled SSD's have the exact same performance however)
oh so how thin it is makes the computer go faster so you can get actual work done?
or are you saying you cant fit a 1.5ish inch thick laptop into your bag? maybe you should get a real bag instead of an envelope.
no, the Asus 1215N and MSI U250 are both light and thin, you can choose what type of ram and what HDD's you want.
both use standard DDR3
both use standard 2.5" SATA HDD bays, almost all 2.5" SSD's work

why not get a mouse? the touch pad's on laptops will decrease productivity, you only use it if your on a plane or something (even on a plane i would still use a bluetooth mouse)
swap video cables (known working)
then swap monitors (known working)
(i know obvious stuff but it has to be done first )
then take out ram (swap with good ram)
then take out video card (swap with any video card that works)
could be a bad power supply when you start drawing max power. its happened to my brother, he had a POS antec power supply, it kept shutting down in the middle of a game with lots of explosions, then we replaced it with an enermax 600W and it was fine after that.
