I am in the process of buying a laptop for school purposes. Mainly I need it for wireless internet, and a word processor, but I also like to do alot of photoshopping also. I started off wanting a 17 inch screen but am coming to realize that a smaller screen might not be such a bad idea, school wise. I am trying to stay under $700.00 so I can bump up my warranty on whatever I buy. If someone could look at these specs (fi there is that big of differance in processors & graphics) and tell me what they think I should do that would be great.
