Wow, I don't know what did it, but after posting in this thread and reading it.. I kinda went out looking, and ordered one of these from Dell:

Using financing options of the Dell Credit Card thing, the payment is only around 50 dollars a month, which is something I should be able to afford.
The main reason I decided to go and buy one was because of Robotics. This was my first year, and I wanted to use it mainly for those 4 days at the competion as: Updating Scouting System, Website, Programming, and just for the fact that those who had them had a fun time playing games and surfing the net over the wireless networks.
