Pros: Solid State Drive <3, Super portable
Cons: Processing Speed, 4gbs of ram might be out of date (i dont really know)

Ok you guys get more or less what im looking for, i hope you can help me out! Dont be afraid to post other links to what you might think is a better build. Try to stay on Bestbuy since it would be better for my budget (rewards card). But dont feel restricted to go on other sites! Thanks!

I'd go with the Sony. It has far more storage and speed isn't necessarily essential in a laptop used for mundane tasks such as school work and internet browsing. 4gb or more of RAM is usually the sweet spot for laptops. I'll post some links to a few laptops of choice. Don't particularly need to spend that much on a mere laptop...

Any of these would be great. I'd stick with trusted companies, at least 4gb of RAM or more, lots of storage, and light weight.
