OT: Need advice with Laptop

[happygeek]

THank you, that is all very helpful, though I am really not going to involve myself with non-windows operating systems right now.

Newegg, apparently, will not ship to Germany. I need a computer soon, however, I really do. Thank you.

happygeek, try www.notebooksbilliger.de - they have the absolutely best prices on notebooks for end users. Otherwise, look for christmas specials as every store has at least one special offer now.
