I am in college, this would be my second computer (my current laptop is too cumbersome to carry), so it just needs to do Internet, MS Word, and MS Powerpoint, maybe movies when I travel and sometimes iTunes. (I will be buying MS Office and an external cd/dvd drive.)
Would you buy an HP Mini 311 with WIN 7 or Toshiba Satellite T115?

sometimes my toshiba p100-347 will not boot for several attempts, and then just out the blue it powers up fine, any clues?, i took it to a computer repair shop and they diagnosed a faulty graphics card with a cost of £400 replacement (laughs) or maybe a repair costing £200 if successful or £45 if not + plus the £25 diagnostic fee payed up front. But given that there is no prob when its running, i am not sure they have got it right!, what do you think?
