Excuse me? Well, I just turned 15 from 14, and I have a relatively large amount of stuff, 20gb of movie projects, 7gb of photos, a rapidly growing music and video library(15.6gb). I have 67GB used up now (other stuff too). He may be doing FCE, why the hell not? I knew how to use it when I was 14, and NEEDED it. Anyway, my point, age doesn't matter its need, in this situation, he needed a desktop replacement, maybe it was his parents who opted for the 17". Everyone has their own needs, and everyone has the god damn right to dream ahead of what they will do with it, so customize it to their desire.
Nah, I think YouTube was down for a bit.
