HDD issue!

Does anyone know what is the difference between a 2.5" external HDD and a 3.5" ?
How much is it usually for an 80GB HDD ? I seldom buy anything from lowyat, its usually done by my brother, but now he's overseas and wants me to get a HDD for him from lowyat and the price is so different in 2 shops.

I've gone thru the pricelist online and Startec sells a 2.5" external 80GB HDD Seagate for RM185 while a 2.5" Seagate desktop freeagent 80GB HDD is sold for RM319 in Compuzone. Im puzzled. HDD with 3.5" costs more though. What does 3.5" mean?

Vista issue!

I'm planning on getting a notebook and I'm quite sure i'll get it straight from the manufacturer aka Dell/Toshiba/HP. However, I've heard that windows vista is not completely stable yet but all notebooks are fitted with vista once it comes out from the factory. Are there many problems regarding hardware and software compatibility with vista? and which brand of notebook do you guys recommend?

Thanks guys in advance!

I'm currently using an ASUS laptop with an Intel Pentium M processor. It has been running really smoothly and it's anything but great.
However recently when i tried connecting to the wifi in my college and also at starbucks a problem cropped up. The laptop is able to locate wifi signals but i am having difficulties connecting to it.
When i open the Wireless Network Connection box it lets me choose the wifi provider but when i try to connect it just stalls during the connecting period. It seems to go on forever.
There was a box which i could choose to connect through windows or asus wlan control centre. However its of not much help as even with that I too cant connect to the internet.

I know i sound like a jumbled bunch but can anyone help me here?
