John and all you other computer dudes, I need to get a laptop very soon, I'm going to be starting grad school..blah blah blah..
can you guys give me some advice on what specs I should be looking for? I am lost with this kind of stuff. I just show up to work and my computer works - that's all I know.

I don't need anything crazy, just something that will be very fast when browsing the internet and using MS office (I will get cable high speed, but I do not want to wait a long time for anything to load) and something that can handle the various mp3 and photo programs out there (i-tunes, etc.).
So what would I need in terms of RAM and ROM and Gigs and Processing speed and all that crap?
