694590 2008-08-03 22:55:00 is there a reason you need it to be a laptop? like a poster before said, you're paying a premium for the portability if absolute maximum speed for $ is needed.

I always thought Dell laptops were quite good; you can configure almost everything on them (HDD, ram, CPU) like a desktop.

694592 2008-08-03 23:06:00 Well, no reason well no main reason. I need a laptop other than just haven 1 because I already have a desktop and I want a laptop so I feel a little more comfortable just sitting down, laying down, or just bringing it with me so I can do stuff. I would love that.

But yea I just want it to be able to just take what I give it.... what does intel based mean? but yea i would love to have a dual boot on my laptop... and even my desktop...

694593 2008-08-04 03:05:00 Voodoo seems cool lol Bomba (14041)
694594 2008-08-04 03:41:00 Intel based means it has an Intel CPU. snafu (14042)
694595 2008-08-04 07:40:00 Other than the fact that the Mac Pro looks "cool", is there any other appeal?

I would personally get a HP or Lenovo Thinkpad.
