- 1) Store, edit and view photos or videos you've taken. Think how enjoyable it will be to relax in the evenings and view through the pic's of the of the day. Post videos on youtube.
- 2) Play Mp3 music, ebooks, audio books. A laptop sounds much better than an ipod, you can also add a sound card.. E-book take up 1000kb for a huge novel. Same for audio books, that can be excellent for passing time on the train or plane.
