    I'm going to buy a Dell Centrino laptop

    Inspiron 8600.
    P-M 1.7GHz, 15.4" WSXGA, 1GB RAM(upgraded to this by me) 128MB Raedon 9600 turbro, 60GB HD 7200 rpms, Intel wireless, XP Pro, 3Yr CC w/ Theft and Accident insurance.

    Should kick ass and be able to play video games pretty good and the battery will last around 4 hours from just regular working. I'm not getting blue tooth because it'll drop the battery time by 30 minutes because it's always on (you can only disable it when you disable the wifi = lame).

      nice machine. i'd go with the dell 1450 wireless instead of the intel, and look for a 20% coupon and add the dvd-rw+

                      dell fucking sucks. paid 200 bux for a 3 year warranty on a laptop and they 'lost the warranty'. but they knew all the specs of my laptop even when they said they purge order info after a year, bs.

                      then ask them what batteries work for my laptop and they will only tell me the one they currently sell. give them the code for the battery they shipped to me originally and they said they couldn't say if it would work with this laptop.

                      why anyone would buy from a company like this is beyond me

                          i use to work for dell but we all lost or jobs because all support jobs were sent to pakistan. so durring the changing of us to them we would get peope bitching out the ass about them and how stupid they were and how they cant speak english and all that so odds are you got one of them.

                          but dells do rule and battery life is amazing i get about 4-5 hours on mine. and i got an 8500

                              I was just looking to get a new laptop also... probably going to just get a better desktop though

                                      honestly, the quality of dell laptops is not all that great right now...

                                      go to http://www.notebookforums.com and hear everyone bitching about them.

                                      IMHO
