Long message... A a laptop need to be expanable. To you can upgrade it like anything else in life. Long battery life. And desktop part can be used. Graphic and Processor. Dont really care about sound. As for the pen never seen them in my life. Lived in japan for my whole life. They look kool. Not in any computer store i know of. As for Sci-fi girl lex doig is the way to go. Or any of the andromeda girl in season 5. Love star trek but watch it for the story line not the girls. the other sci fi mentioned sux!
