I need professional advice, please help!

<p>*My router’s DNS was changed because even links on my iPod touch were redirected to the same “googlesyndication” and “search5”.
*As I have previously stated, I need a portable laptop because I will always be out on the go, elsewhere.<br>
*Power consumption in programs is an issue I am aware of, and my solution is switchable graphics cards.
*I believe the i5 and i7 are both quad-core processors, except some may have hyper-threading for a possible of 8 visual cores. i3 is a dual core iirc.
*I was considering a desktop option, but I am already out doing business more often than I am actually inside working. This is even before I begin school. I be more busier ;/
*Yeah, the dv9700 SUCKED. It’s so bad, that even this desktop I am using is almost better than my HP. ._.</p>

<p>Here are my new comparisons.
m11x vs. Asus ul80</p>

<p>I know the build quality for the new ul80 is very poor, as well as it’s performance being moderate, but I think it is a good alternative to the m11x, what do you guys think? For now I’ll try reading more about the ul80 and I will update later. </p>

<p>The virus that “destroyed” my harddrive corrupted all the data and modified cpu opperations to an extent that even safe mode was not safe. (I don’t know how, but I assume it had something to do with letting safe-mode “allow” a certain program to keep it infected…(you know what i’m talking about) lol)</p>

<p>P.S. Thank you for all the warm and welcome support :slight_smile: It has really kept me motivated and it is very appreciative. I to continue receiving advice and support from the great people you are until I finally decide on a purchase. September 9 is when I will begin deciding on my purchase.</p>
