What don't I do with my computer?
recipes, directions, movies, shows, stumble upon, games, email, work, random question look up (what's that one song... who's the guy in that one movie... how big is a... etc...), board
If I could have one chip'd into my head, then I'd do it. BORG STYLE.

I use mine for occasional work, writing papers, crunching data, graphing etc. However most work related stuff gets done at work, on the work computer.
Nowadays I just use it for basic stuff, email, web surfing, music, video, light photo retouching etc. I still have a strong preference to use a full, desktop keyboard and mouse. I don't particularly care to do major things on a laptop with touchpad.
Most media output is done on the laptop, since it has HDMI out and can interface with a nice receiver. This will move along once the media center is actually complete.

I have been looking into Android Tablets. I know I can get one for at LEAST less than 300 dollars but i want a 10 inch one and the little usb keyboard add on and that would be a good enough laptop for me, I have no data plan for my phone and i pay 10 bucks a month for phone service with our family plan. I could then use the Android anywhere there is Wifi.
I am still researching all the specs and things I want in it though, its kinda confusing because theres kind of a lot of them.
