dude don't get the alienware. The core 2 duo is by far a better processor. Alienwares are made by dell too fyi so I don't know why they don't come with core 2 duos and the dual gfx cards. I have the 7950 GTX in mine and it is great. Don't know if you saw the link I posted above for the cheap ram on new egg. Under 300 bucks…

Hawken: I did a quick price comparison between 2 of the notebooks listed here as well as the macbookpro - mostly out of curiosity, and partly because I'm thinking of getting one myself (I bought my gf one and love it, and would much rather have control over my windows install and what extras I put in). Here goes: (all…
[ QUOTE ] Again for you guys - first time for me. I'm looking at getting a new PC and going for a laptop rather than upgrading my desktop machine. I checked out the threads here, and found some valuable advice, and I'd love to hear what good/bad experiences anyone has had with new laptops. As far as price and spec goes,…
hey man. i went through this in december and looked at so many different laptops. I ended up getting the Dell XPS M1710. The same one you mentioned for a few reasons. I can upgrade my ram to 4 gigs (newegg has some patriot memory that is really good stuff right now for under 400 for 4 gigs.) I got the core 2 duo and the…
I already told you via PM Johny. Lightest thinnest 17" laptop is the HP nw9440. 7900 gt, core 2 duo, etc etc. It's thin, light, and awesome. I love it.
I've been considering picking up a lappy sometime soon, so this thread has come in handy. I was definitely looking into getting a high-end Dell machine. Oh, and thanks for the warning about the Toshiba systems, I remember them being the shit way back. -caseyjones
If you get the nw9440, get the cheapest version, which comes with a single 1 gb stick. Either get a 2nd 1 gb stick if you want 2 total, or get 2x2 for a 4 gb total off newegg. Dang, now it's only 2k for the nw9440. Such a great buy.
I'm looking at the same as you. At least 2gig of ram, 1.8ghz dual core and at least 120gig space.. but whilst I want it as a desktop replacement, I also don't want a massive screen and a clunky system. I also want less than a 13" screen and less than 2.2kg. The Dell XPS M1210 looks great to me
[ QUOTE ] you could get the same spec mac book pro and enjoy windows and osx on the same machine. The battery will last longer, the screen are now brighter and come in super high rez on the 17" machines. thats my advice anyway Don't get a HP. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I forgot about the new Macbook pros having the 8600. The…
