Laptop Choices.

[ngsm13 5,000+ posts]

Looking at laptops...

I want:

-Portable Solution (NOT desktop replacement, good amount of mobile power)

-1 GB of ram

-At least 128mb dedicated graphics

-15.4" screen (not that ultra shiny shit either...)

I've looked at A LOT of stuff, from custom builds, to Alienware, etc...

It's come down to the ACER Ferrari 4005WLMi being the one I REALLY want. I haven't read a bad review about it. Any suggestions for or against? Or other options?

I got an ibuypower g-600 custom made to my specs (plus way more). With the 5% discount they give, it cost me $1800...a very nice deal for what I got. I love my computer.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Oh...and the words XPS and laptop should never be put together.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
