RE: buying laptop
those arn't highquality computers. P3 750, not much ram.... small HDs.

and with ur 7GB of music, maybe its better to get a bigger harddrive.

but if those are the only choices, go for the middle one.

RE: buying laptop
well, for programming, a P3 500 really sucks. A P3 600 (I have one), allready has troubles with just the f### os you want to use (winXP). When I enable edit: disable all visual sh#t, it works better.

It seems you don't have much money. Is that true? Anyway, for ~300 you won't get a good computer :(
