    Laptop Recommendations? $2500

    Which laptop do you recommend for a $2500 budget? Needs to look good and weight light. Not for games, only for light stuff, word processing emails DVD watching etc.

    If you want to spend $2500 you mind as well go all out. As you can get a fully loaded laptop around $1,400. You can go fully loaded and light for about $2,100. Sorry I don't have the time to help more.

    good luck.

      would have said to get a new sager but they are more heavy then what you will want. Maybe look into the Sony models?

          I am no dell fan. But when it comes to high end laptops, the Dell XPS Laptop is the best. Hands down.

          http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...=19&l=en&s=dhs

          Close second is the Alienware laptop (I'n not an alienware fan either..)

          http://alienware.com/product_detail_...de=SKU-DEFAULT

          Both within your budget.

          Edit: Fully loaded and light are rather contradictory.

              are you looking for size or performance?

              I've always wanted to get a smaller laptop but my need for image and video work always prevents me from getting it.

                      I traded my Powerbook G4, 17" with 1.5GB of RAM

                      for a Dell 17"

                      Its simply 5X the laptop, i hated the mac.
                      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, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                        I have the XPS Desktop and if the Laptop is anything comparible it would be well worth it.

                            Because Mac Laptops are balls really. And I am really biased towards PC, but, still.. I find mac laptops to never last long, to scratch easily, to heat up very quickly, and they arent very powerful at all. I mean, the only people that buy them anymore are trendy coffee shop twenty somethings.

                            Wow. I feel lame saying that.. as I am only 17 ;o

                              Dell Inspiron 700m, with $500 or 15%+ off coupon. Great deal, good system for light use. Amazing quality screen.

                                    did I mention, IBM?

                                    IBM makes the BEST light-weight business-class notebooks, period. 3yr standard warranty on high-end models.

                                      I would agree there. For buisness class its the best way to go. And you can get one for well under 2500.

                                          The Panasonic R3 and T2 are slightly over your budget ($2800-$3000) but very lightweight and powerful

                                                I agree if you need a kickass laptop that can handle being bounced around and yet still work like a dream. I would never buy any other laptop, i even edit on my thinkpad
