If you can give me more lap tops in this price range that are good, I would appreciate it! ;)

I would go with the dell :m:

I second that. Their support service is supposedly excellent. If you want a gaming albeit stylish laptop i'd go with Alienware. Sony has some swanky notebooks. Toshiba has a neat swivel screen laptop.

If you have the bling bling i'd look into a Titanium mac notebook.

Customized PC's are the way to go

Well if I were in your shoes I would be weighing up alot of things before outright purchasing a new laptop.

For instance the first things are usually price and support as mentioned. Now I'm not usually one to be bothered for support when it comes to hardware unless there isn't any information available on the internet about the particular type of equipment I'm dealing with.

So in the case of the Dell laptop mentioned, you'll have software available on their webpage to deal with that particular model.

However getting something that placed together by a large corporate company like that does have some set backs, for instance not knowing exactly what is modular (what can be upgraded or replaced with ease if there is a fault.)

There are then other things you might want to juggle, like what do you want your laptop compatible with? You could have Firewire, Bluetooth or InfraRed connections on it. (Although the telecoms companies are now selling PCMCIA cards that have antennas that connect to the phone networks directly)

Other questions might be how long does the battery last? Does the processor have a cooling fan? (Which they all should now) Do you have to disattach a drive bay to swap drives from floppy to a DVD-RW? Is the OS OEM preloaded or do you actually get to load it yourself? Does it come with extended warranty (If not the whole laptop just the battery)

I do know that laptops tend to hold their price for longer than normal PC's because of the lack of upgradibility, so even if you bought one now you could sell it for at least half it's price in 4 or 5 years time.

Dell suck:mad:
From my experience Toshiba make the best laptops. Mine is almost 6 years old & still going strong after plenty of beatings. I can't say the same for the "cardboard" Dells I've had to use.
