Don't get a Dell.
I'm starting to like you more and more. I spent my whole life savings on a $1600 dell laptop and it didn't even last a year. It had major problems while under warranty, but those were fixed. As soon as it went out of warranty, behold, great and mighty mishaps disabled the laptop to a point where I refuse to give dell another nickel.

Re: Laptops, Laptops, Laptops (",)

Two of my friends have Dells additionally. One was helplessly bloated with nameless amounts of software Dell stuffs on there initially (along with around four keyloggers, so... yeah...), the other, a laptop, which sported a thick rainbowish column of dead pixels.

Fortunately, Bartus still had warranty on his laptop and I was able to reformat Sears' desktop.

God damn. There's always HP. :cheesy:

Please don't use that word in your last sentence.

Anyway, I prefer alienware laptops. We've had a few gateways and nothing went wrong with them ever.

Re: Laptops, Laptops, Laptops (",)

My brother got a Dell probably a little over a year ago and has had problems with it also. I was on the verge of getting a Dell laptop but his problems convinced me otherwise. So I would agree with the others....might want to go with something besides a Dell.

Re: Laptops, Laptops, Laptops (",)

I have an Acer laptop since almost 3 years ago and I've never had a problem with it... and like server_crash said, Alienware laptops are pretty good.
