| 515891 | 2007-01-14 19:05:00 | I don't know about spec, but for that price you should be able to extract a freebie like a free Docking Station & Keyboard/Mouse. I'm biased as I sell HP's, however I know you need a Direct-X capable chipset on board for gaming. Check out www.shopping.hp.com |

| 515894 | 2007-01-14 22:24:00 | I just had a look through the Dick Smith Website before where they have all the major brands stocked and all the price ranges covered and for 2K to 2.5K you have got a pretty good selection :) I am guessing that you would be aiming more towards the general pc uses and multimedia since laptops tend to be sufficent for gaming rather than mind blowing. Here is another option in the general use and multimedia side of things with some limited gaming capacity 13" MacBook * 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo * 1GB memory * 80GB hard drive1 * Double-layer SuperDrive NZ$ 2,499.00 Can run Windows natively with Parallels |

| 515895 | 2007-01-14 23:32:00 | ok thanx guy, what make do you guy generally recommand? is Sony a good brand? | kingping (11473) | ||
| 515896 | 2007-01-14 23:44:00 | I haven't had any personal experience with them other than to say that aesthetically they look good. Depnding on what your wanting to get out of owning your laptop I would look for good customer service and hardware support (warrantys) from the supplier, after that it is pretty much of a muchness. Make sure that the laptop caters for all the additional stuff that you want to plug into it as well as wifi, DVD burner Firewire and USB ports etc. Long battery life is essential although this will depend on gaming and playing DVDs | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 515897 | 2007-01-15 00:00:00 | If you find a laptop that fits your spec and price requirement and comes with a suitable srevice and parts replacement warranty then buy it. I would possibly just stear clear of Asus and Lenovo but that is just my opinion. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 515898 | 2007-01-15 00:01:00 | Hey. Have you tried checking out Dell New Zealand Website? Cheers :) LOL at you reccomending Dell for gaming and multimedia. I hope that was a poor attempt at sarcasm. But anything from ASUS!!. Asus make some solid stuff, haev good battery life and excellent warranties. I used to sell them and have reccomended them to friends and family and not one of them has been upset with an ASUS. |

But why would you steer clear of Asus ?, one of very few brands that manafacture their own laptops (bar video chip/HDD). Most other brands just contract out to other players and slap their logo on it. |
