2) This is just gunna sit in the house and maybe come into different rooms with me when I use it (Theres no way i'll use it near drinks), Do you think I need a warrenty? No one will steal it, and I won't accidentaly break it, The warrenty is like $500, and that'll make it an even longer time that i'll have to wait to get it, so far it came out to $1800 with everything the best except for a 2GHz processor instead of a 2.16GHz.


yes you need the warranty... notebooks are not like desktops, when they break there is almost no way to get around buying VERY expensive parts and trust me you dont want to have it break just outside the warranty period and then get to spend easily more than that. as much as you feel accidents wont happen they still can. all it takes is it slipping out of your hands between rooms and that warranty will seem like a very good idea.

the processor differences is not that much and i wouldnt bother with the extra.

Im also considering the Asus G1 (the G2 is 17" and the gfx card is almost the same if not less powerful). Would that do good in like fear, q4, doom3, and new games for a few years? Or should I just go with the dell even tho its ugly haha

I don't know about the battery life but if you wanna save money you could just get the C2D 2.0 ghz, not the 2.16 ghz

Specs:

17" WSXGA+ Active Matrix LCD with Matte Finish Surface
Core 2 Duo T5600 / 2MB L2 Cache 1.83GHz

2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM @ 667MHz
90GB SATA 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
Smart Li_ION Batter
XP Home (Going to format it to pro or something)

Price: $2,099 (Thats around $39 more than the e1705)

One thing I can suggest when looking for laptops is look on the sites Buy/Sell/Trade section you can be surprised on what deals you can get. Also the laptop spec you put up is very nice and looks like a solid laptop.

I don't want to buy a used laptop from people I don't know, and I don't have a paypal account or anything.

That laptop can get 130fps in doom3 @ ULTRA settings..150 in css..and like 200 in bf2 :O

At least you won't have to worry about fps lag lol, sounds like it will work out for you great. I agree on buying used lappies and anything from people you don't know can be iffy but you may find ur piece of gold in the trash like me.
