Buying a Laptop...
I'm buying a laptop for wifey and haven't got the slightest idea of what direction to head in with it. I'm not a hardware guru so I'm lost here...
She doesn't need a MONSTER laptop so the XPS and what not are a bit of overkill. It also has to be a Windows based since she loves her video games (sims, shockwave games, etc). She'll be using it for class work (research papers n shit), light gaming, surfing, watching dvds, etc. Anyone have an suggestions? Trying to keep it under $1k btw |

I would just go to Wal-Mart or Best Buy and pick something out.

Here's a good one for your wife (btw, it comes in other colors, but the pink was the first link I found for it).
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....2180419 98232 It's 729 with a good amount of RAM and such and has the big 17" screen. If you need a smaller screen or something, let me know.

The video on that one is integrated (crappy), but with the games you listed should be fine. If you want something with a bit more oomph in the video card department I'll find ya one.

Windows 7 is coming soon so I would be careful in that I heard that Vista Home Basic wouldn't be a free upgrade to Windows 7
not sure on the details but it would be worth checking into at this point, not sure if I would wait or install XP on a new laptop if I were doing it right now

That other dell is a 15.4 inch screen 2 Gigs of RAM and a much smaller hard drive...but you can add a good graphics card to it as well, and more RAM so it's a good choice as well.
I currently have 15.4 inch laptops, and for my next laptop I want to move up to 17" screen. RAM and Hard drive space are the next key issues, followed by your graphics choice.
