Hey all, thinking of building a laptop, well, more like buying a barebones system and installing my own cpu, memory and harddrive. I always thought i would like to have a 17" screen on a laptop but i have heard some people say the 17" is too large. what is the general concensus? do you think a 17" is too large and impractical to cary with you on a regular basis? im a student and would be taking it with me to and from school and traveling on the road occasionally with it. Also, im looking to spend around $1000 total, give or take a little, what processor would you guys reccommend? i will probably be piecing it together from pricewatch.com
