alienware is the way to go i had a dell laptop before and hated it and my alienware is amazing that is by far imo one of the best laptops for gaming and is very very fast

the only thing i dont like bout my alienware is that i didnt wait long enough for this one to come out

 

Jeff,

If you're looking for all that then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a Dell XPS M1530. I have this model and it is as fast as a DESKTOP.

15INCH LCD
Dedicated nVIDIA CARD
4GIGS RAM
DVD/BLU-RAY
THIN <--------

& If you choose "custom build" you can select a Solid State Drive.

FYI-I just went to their site and I chose all the features at MAX. The total is

Starting Price$2,449

 

Yup, that's the one my brother is now rockin'. Doesn't have bluray, that I know of... but that's all in the config. He likes it a lot. It's pretty slim, and is very fast. I've got a Fujitsu which is aging (bought it Jan 05), but I still love it, and the brand. It's 4 pounds, has a magnesium case, and still works as good as new... just out dated in terms of performance. When I go laptop shopping next, it'll be Dell or Fujitsu for sure.


Alienware is great... but for what you need, buy a used one. The new ones are so feckin' expensive... unless you want to play hardcore games at school, I think the XPS 1530 is the way to go... or something similar.

 

a Dell Inspiron 1525 80 gb 2g memory no bell no whistles ..... I just picked up a Western Digital external for 609.00 500gb HD for my music and what not and Im totally happy. All I do is internet, school and music. 598.00 after all was said and done. Whatever, works for me.

 

Inspirons are bigger wider and thicker. Weight more

 

What about Sony? I have had a Sony Vaio fsn series laptop for the last 4 years. Very slim and still looks better than most of the laptops out today. Never had a problem with it and when I do choose to upgrade I am going to buy a sony again. Amazing screen but you once again it will cost maybe $100 to $200 more for a sony. Buy through circuit city or best buy and you can get 2-3 years no interest on the laptop but then you lose the ability to customize the laptop. Just some ideas.

 

I'll buy a SONY tv but as far as computers -no thanks
