Will it be the perfect laptop? No. I know the screen is small, keyboard cramped, and the processor is on the modest side, but I will be able to carry it almost anywhere and will have a full browser, mail, and programs with me. With the SSD disk, it should be silent, too, which is nice.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be ordering it tomorrow morning and while it won&#8217;t make it in time for my 40th birthday on Wednesday, it will hopefully be in before too long.
