Hey all, I'm looking into getting my first laptop, and was hoping for some recommendations on things like good companies to go with, and stuff to look out for.
I'm getting it for work, so it needs to be a PC, be able to handle modern game stuff, and I'm looking to spend up to around $2000 Canadian.
Anyways, any help would be great, cause I'm not sure what exactly to be looking for.

Oh, the best deals in Vancouver for Computer gear (at regular price) is NCIX generally - Atic sometimes has good sales but NCIX is a better company generally. Their warranty is a bit sketchy sometimes.... if warranty is huge to you - price out a laptop and get Best Buy to price match it. - dont forget to check Costco too they have good deals sometimes.
Lee, that sounds a little too good to be true. $1100 and it runs Crysis on max settings? reaalllyy..
interesting.
Wow, that laptop is a damn good deal right now. If you go to their site and customize it, you can get a bunch of goodies for free. You can upgrade to a 320GB SATA HDD, Blu-ray, and 4GB of RAM for free. All for $999. That's cheaper than most deals I've been researching recently. Damn... I sound like a commercial now
Anyways, thanks a bunch guys, was really helpful.
Sorry to bring this up but there are so many threads of laptops suggestions that I'd feel bad for creating a new one.
I'm buying my very first laptop as I'm moving to Poland in a few months, and I'll use it mainly for 3D work. I saw your sugestion of the HP HDX16, but reading the portuguese HP site they only have the HDX18 (which sounds pretty nice, as a big screen is always welcome) and as it seems it's like the Canadian one, doesn't allow custmize. I'd go with the HDX16 as that price is pretty nice, but extra screen size sounds good for me.
It's expensive as hell (1699 euros) so my question is if you guys think it worth that huge amount?
