I am a computer nut, without going into great detail about me and my experience.

The above link is one of the best honest reviews on laptops.

 

If you like Dell, Give them a call BEFORE you buy online. You can get additional savings just by calling in first.

I saved around $150 dollars off the price of their website prices just by calling them.

I have a 1501 with the AMD processor, I plan on using it when I get back out on the road. I have 2GHz, 1 GB ram, 80GB HD, DVD Burner

 

I don't like dell and hate there service.

I always had good luck with toshiba and best buy has a bice package on sale for under $1000 and it has the 17 inch widescreen which is nice for watching movies on.
Plus I think they are offering free cannon printer and wireless router (after mail in rebate)

 

You have any around you want to part with?

 

oh, mil-spec is definatly nice if you have $3k-$5k to spend on a laptop

 

oh, mil-spec is definatly nice if you have $3k-$5k to spend on a laptop. Personally I say go as cheap as you can for a truck as you will replace it a little more often, you'll still be cheaper than a mil-spec

 

I'd look at a gateway long before a dell. Look at circuitcitys website they are about the cheapest you'll find and they have a real nice gateway for $669 it has a dvd player but not burner though.
Gateway is all function without the frills and sleek cases most have these days that you pay alot for.

I still recomend the toshiba satalite. I'm either buying that gateway I mentioned or a toshiba p105-S6174 which they have for $949 but it was cheaper last week so mabey I can still get the sale price. They are offering a photo printer, and router of free after mail in rebate with that one too.

the hp pavilion is a good deal but I won't touch hp with a 10 foot poll. there hardware is good but there software is super glitchy.
