sister.  The MacBooks are too expensive for her budget (unless she goes for a base refurbished MacBook) and this one gives a more reasonable screen size, plus the rest of the specifications make it a reasonable fit for what she wants to do.

Most people I know who have laptops rarely if ever use it "on the road" where a diminutive size would really be important.  Rather they want something with a reasonably sized screen that they can use at their desk, or carry it to the coffee table, or the dinner table, or in bed, or to their friends' place.  Something that's impractical with just about every desktop, whether it be a mid tower case down to an "all in one" like an iMac.  Even for students who have to schlep their stuff every 4 to 8 months, a large heavy laptop is far more practical than a desktop.<br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[feeko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 9th 2009 6:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lenovo's 16-inch IdeaPad Y650 reviewed: not bad at all]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/09/lenovos-16-inch-ideapad-y650-reviewed-not-bad-at-all/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/09/lenovos-16-inch-ideapad-y650-reviewed-not-bad-at-all/</guid><description><![CDATA[One thing I discovered when moving from 15" to a 17" laptop is how much smaller the choice is when it comes to things like bags.  If you buy a 13" or 15" laptop then the selection is wonderful but at 17" (or, worse, one of these "weird" sizes) your options become limited.  It might not be an issue for you but is perhaps something worth considering if you expect to be carrying it around a lot.  If Apple manages to get things like the high battery life and anti-glare screen into their 15" MBP then I think I'll down-grade on my next purchase since I have come to the conclusion that 17" isn't as portable as I'd like.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kelmon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 10th 2009 7:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lenovo's 16-inch IdeaPad Y650 reviewed: not bad at all]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/09/lenovos-16-inch-ideapad-y650-reviewed-not-bad-at-all/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/09/lenovos-16-inch-ideapad-y650-reviewed-not-bad-at-all/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think 16'' is not so clear cut on portability it kind of depends on the design/manufacturer. Some of the VAIO 16'' definitely fall into the portable category where as some others really don’t.  Looking at the reviews of this one its thin and light for a 16'' so looks good.<br><br>More importantly if this has any of the thinkpads quality then I would pay a bit of a premium.
