You guys seem to know what your talking about here, I'm looking for something with realitivley good battery life, a 15.4 inch screen, It has to be fast. I do some gaming a lot of work on photoshop, a lot of DVD rendering and a fair bit of movie editing. I know basically what i'm looking for just looking for a more in depth view or some laptops you would recomend.
this may not be the best way, but maybe auctions? make sure the person selling it has a good reputation on selling products. Dell laptops are pretty cheap as well.
Well I have a customized HP dv1000 and it works really well. Mine can play most high-end games and if I'd had more money to spend, I would've upgraded everything to the max and that would handle all games very nicely. About how much can you spend?
