If you're planning on dropping some money on a new laptop in the near future, CNET has posted up a short list of three mistakes that they made when buying a laptop.  I agree with them - to a point.  If you are buying an extreme-budget (think cheap) laptop, you'll likely never be happy with it - so take their advice and enjoy!

After reading some reviews (professional and user alike), I found a system that seemed perfect. But it wasn't long before I discovered a few usability quirks that really detract from my enjoyment. If you're in the market for a new laptop of your own, consider the three things I wish I'd done differently.
