Now the features you may want to see if the fire wire port in this case is a four pin is which what's in most laptops and what fire wire will do for you is allow you to hook it to some modern video camera's so you can capture your vacation footage. Another feature is your optical drive this one has it on this side in this case its a DVD burner, Cd burner, etc. You want to make sure it has the right features there. Another thing that you look for is the presence of a PCMCIA or new PC express card slots for added features down the road and sometimes they even have right here the little flash reader so you can use your camera's memory card directly with the laptop. Another thing that most laptops have but not all, is built in wireless internet.
