      Avoid that place like the deadly plague... That place is known to rip people off, use returned "faulty goods" as new. They'll give you hassle when retuning goods, they don't like honoring warrenty... just a heads up.



      PS> Use that site only for pricematching cause they seem to have the best prices in town.



      laptop wise that lappy needs more ram :p

                  HP makes some nice ones, but they are heavy. Sony has some very light ones.

                  But I think that MAC makes the most powerful light weight ones.

                          I have a VPR Matrix. Nice laptop and beatuiful design.

                          You can pick them up cheap. I bought mine brand new, but I'm seeing them around for $1200ish now.

                              I have a DELL and love it. I got it last Christmas and haven't had any problems with it as of yet.
                              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                  A store with a warranty? I thought that manufacturer deals with the warranties.

                                              Expensive for that. Mine's a 2ghz mobile p4 and cost half that.

                                                  Normally when something breaks under warranty you take it back to the place with receipt and they give you a new one. This place will tell you to fuck off.

I've had my Toshiba now for a few years and it's been incredible. Had one small issue with the motherboard and the warrantee covered it no proplems.

Lightweight and powerful. I wanted to save money more than I wanted lightweight and I went for the Dell, but if I was carting it around a lot, the Vaio wins

                                                                                                                                              You can pick them up cheap. I bought mine brand new, but I'm seeing them around for $1200ish now.
                                                                                                                                              I thought they stopped making VPR Matrix? At least that's what they told me at Best Buy. I've bought 2 VPR Matrix desktops & I loved them, but I can't get them anymore.

                                                                                                                                              Anyway, for laptop, I advise against the Sony. They're loaded with all kinds of shitty software. I've just always had bad luck.

                                                                                                                                              I'd say get an IBM T40P or better .....or if you want cheap, BestBuy has a good cheap Gateway.

                                                                                                                                                      Ok here is the breakdown of my experience...

                                                                                                                                                      Fujitsu Lifebook-- Noisey fans/drives, software issues, slow hard drive. Great screen and Awesome tech support!

                                                                                                                                                      IBM Thinkpad T42 - All 3 I had, had multiple dead pixels and display problems. Lousy support

                                                                                                                                                      Alienware Sentia -Fast and Light! Super fast Hard Drive (7200rpm) and only 3.8 pds.

                                                                                                                                                      Compaq/HP - Not so much bang for your buck. Cheap OS (only partial componets installed, so if you crash, your screwed) THE WORST tech support on the planet.

                                                                                                                                                      DELL - Not bad machines, but slow hard drives and Horrid Tech Support... There machines never have consistant parts in them

I do need more ram though. We bought it for me to just use in the kitchen to just check on things. I fell in love so I use it all the time and with only 256 of ram Photoshop etc. is too slow
