ok i am thinking of getting a new PC for myself that obviously isn't too expensive but not one of those AUS$899-1200 crappy computers. now i have had in my mind that i want a Notebook/Laptop but i am starting to debate with myself if i should get a Desktop instead and i was hoping you guys could help.

now i know people are going to reply with "depends what you want and what you are going to use it for" so I'm going to try and answer that now.

In a PC i am looking for: Wireless Internet capabilities (like laptops, if i were to choose a desktop), largish HD that has to be at the very minimum 100GB so the bigger the better (I'm thinking maybe 200GB+), decent RAM which i know i can upgrade if it is small when i buy it but i would prefer it already comes with a fair bit (at minimum 1GB, so I'm thinking 2GB), don't care too much about the OS but it has to come with a Windows one (either XP or Vista {i prefer XP but i can just install that over vista if i want}, I'm not a Mac type-of-person, family already has a macbook and i prefer windows :P) and then i will dual-boot it with Ubuntu or even triple-boot it with the other windows, DVD/CD burner and reader which comes standard in almost all computers nowadays anyway, decent processor and video & audio cards. that's about it :D

remember i live in Aus not the US if that has to do with anything :D

the reason i was thinking of a laptop is because i like being able to move it around if neccessary, and when i want to print homework etc i have to take it downstairs (my house is double story and my bedroom is up top and the printer is on the bottom level).
i was thinking about a Desktop because now people are able to do wireless printing so i might be able to print from my room, and it seems that you can get a eg AUS$2000 Desktop PC with way better features than a AUS$2000 notebook.
