my previous laptop was an HP. and it literally caught on fire.

I have a dell inspiron 545 with a 500gb hd, 4gigs ram, ATI Radeon 3200 graphics card, windows 7 64 bit ultimate, office...

and a AMD Athlon tri-core processor running stock 2.7GHZ/per core...i have mine overclocked to 3.2/per core.

23 inch high def moniter, NO WIRELESS, and upgraded sound card. 800 bucks from dell.com

My Laptop is an Inspiron 15 with a 2.5 Ghz Duo Core. nothin really dancy but it cost me and extra 300 bucks to add to my desktop. I love em both.

Hp sucks with bloatware and cheep itoms (and fucking bios locked mobos!) dell is the same just w/o the bloatware

build it yourself, and for the love of god skip on the i7, the i7 will make it impossible for you to get a good gpu at 1000$ as an i7 computer itself costs 900 :/

what about other things? blu-ray? sli capable (like buying a second 460 down the line, 460 sli is AMAZING! almost as powerfull as the 5970)

Edit:
there we go, an i5 w/blu-ray 6 gigs of ram, 1 tb HDD, a 460 and fuck I forgot a psu.... Il fix the build later, I need to get to work this morning D:

Dell is a piece of shit company. What ever you can build yourself is something that is 10x better than what Dell could ever give you.

This build comes with Mafia 2.

Erm. Thats what we are here for Hall. Ignore that puppy puzzle shit.

[hallwagner]

Its not hard. Really putting the pieces together in a computer is like putting together an 8 piece puppy puzzle from Wallmart.

maybe i'll try it then.
