I recently sold my old laptop for $850 to my roomate. Currently, I'm tied to down to my desktop and fine with that. Here's the thing, I don't like using the desktop that much because it isn't portable. Next year I will be going to Spain for family and classes so I need something portable, nothing bigger than 14", and has a lot of battery life. I plan on buying my new machine in the April of '07. Here are my questions:
1. What is coming out next year as far as portable CPUs?
2. Is this long enough for Vista to have some sort of a start to clean out a least some of the bugs?
3. Is 7200 RPM really worth it and does it kill the battery life?
4. Is it true that DDR3 is coming out next year, is it worth it?
I'll need the machine for mostly Photoshop and just ordinary use. I want Photoshop to be fast as I'll be working with large images (around 10MP) and in the RAW format.
