Need Laptop buying help

macbook pro.....geaux apple.

and install winders on it...then game away.

5.6 lbs
1440x900
1 inch thick
3+ hours of bat

just costs 2geees

well, try for a dell, not cos i own one, but cos u can customize pretty much whatever u like on it.

umm i can nto exactly compare, cos this is my first ntoebook, however my ntoebook remains at 31 - 35 celcius, and thats from idle to office apps, to watchimg movies... and i am serious about that temp.... sumtimes it will bump up to 38- 41, and then come str8 back down in literally a single second!

I'd say stay away from Dell. Bad quality and support.

I think the Asus Wj3 would be a good choice. 14" screen a Radeon x1600 video card, and a Core Duo processor. You'll get Asus' unbeatable quality too

hmm... sure ppl can argue about their qualtiy, but nah their support i beleiv is extremely good, i have emaield them a few times bout problems, and they emaield me back with the solution, and also call me abck via phone eveyr time. they are very good

Dell's support is great if you know what you are doing.

i cannot understand this, how come ppl say dell quality is so bad and thier are the wrost and all that blah blah blah, but why are they the umber 1 company hey?

They're the number 1 company because the computer layman doesnt even know they have options other than Dell, Sony, Gateway, and HP/Compaq and they get so tempted by Dells super low prices.

Playanything, I notice you're from Australia, maybe support is different down there. znk0r, I dont know where you're from, sorry I cant help you figure it out, lol. But any time when I or any of my friends here in america try to call dell tech support we get connected to someone who can barely speak english (no offence to anyone) and they cant even help with the problem as they barely seem to know what I'm talking about when I say "The RAM is bad" or "the motherboard died". Another friend has a 3 year warranty on his, they're not honoring that warranty and something is very wrong with his motherboard (Hes had this notebook for just over a year). Yet another friend has had numerous small problems with his notebook that keep popping up over and over even if they're fixed. Another friend's screen died and it took about a month to get it fixed, and the english speaking tech support that he delt with was arrogant and had an attitude with him.

On top of this, any Dell my friends or I touch we feel like we could break in half with no effort.

No offence to any Dell owners but this is not a company that I'd buy from again after experiences like that!

Edit: Now lets get back to the topic at hand If anyone would like to comment on what I've posted here, feel free to PM me. But please lets keep it civil

Well if you read in the dell forum is that the trick with dell is to call back until you get satisfaction. And most of these ppl get compensation for the hassel. Verry rarely does a story not finish with the ppl getting something really great. And what dell notebooks are you talking about?

why do ppl call me playanything,,,,, ppl on cs do it all the time, can't u fools read "PLAYTHING"

Theres always one of the 15.4" asus models. They dont get as warm.

check out the MSI 1039 as well....from RK computing. I configured one with the 1680x1050 res screen, Mt40, 1gb,mediacenter, and a 80gb hd for like 1500.
