i'm posting this for a mate. He is after a brand new spanking laptop, he has no budget (don't go overboard though ;) ) and needs some info, he has looked at sony and dell. He wants it to play games etc (some heavy load apps aswell) If you have any sites or other brands etc, please post.!

i'd go with dell

i saw a pretty nice dell the other day.

p4 3.06ghz
256mb ddr
40gb hdd
32mb radeon 9000
dvd burner

$2999 (ive got the catalogue for this, so if you want more info i can scan it for ya)

also, i've got myself a brand new toshiba.

p4 2.4ghz
512mb ddr
30gb hdd
32mb gf4 2go
cd-r/dvd combo

$2999 (also have the catalogue for this one)

both seemed like pretty good buys to me.

Dad has a Toshiba, it has served him well, It's a centrino too.

pioneer....
no, not the speaker/amp etc. brand

pioneer computers, google for it.

they'll build a machine to your specs. and if i recall correctly got highest benchmarks in apcmag last year...

speak to:

Net Options
Danka

They are both aptop resellers. They deal in Toshiba, IBM, Sharp, Dell etc

Only buy a brand laptop.

Only buy a brand laptop.

true comrade

i think we all learned our lesson from nak0rs laptop.

thanks for the suggestions so far, and what happened to nak0r's laptop..?

buy the dell one and make sure it has the top nvidia card it can get
