I am now trying to learn a lot more about the basics.

Your info leads me to believe adzt1, that the WD Passport it a pretty sturdy product. But I definitely do not want to drop it or bang it around.

I am moving a ton of stuff over to my WD Passport b/c my beloved Acer laptop that I bought a full 6 years ago is getting clunky.

I'll be buying a new laptop in the US in December.

(Off topic here so I should go to the "new laptop" thread).

Debating whether to continue with the Acer brand or try something different such as a Sony Vaio 17" screen because I only use my laptop for home entertainment and home usage. .

My uses are simple: surf the internet, and watch movies and shows.

That is it.

Cheers.

then why buy a laptop?
you pay and give up a lot of flexibility for the option of portability.
