its goign to be an all around laptop.. i agree with lotas. if i get a laptop with windows MCE or any home edition of windows, im giong to wipe that shit off and put RedHat FC5 on it and call it a day. The laptop will have all-around use... light gaming (im liking this one i see on bestbuy.com, amd 64 with 128mb Dedicated video ram and a gig of ram!), internet surfing (porn watching really :P), light IM, word processing, maybe a little web developement, basically everything.im not a graphics nut.. my dads laptop and this computer's graphics are fine enough for me. i'm really liking this $1400-$1500 HP.. its sold out online though

will have to check instore.

humm i know this isnt my thread or anything but i was wondering why you dont recommend buying a dell? (besides Darthness opposition of downloading porn speeds) because when i take out my gigantic loan out for college i'm going to need to buy a new computer too and i was looking at dells first off.

dell doesn't have as big as a variety of laptops anymore... thats why i've exlcuded them. i'm liking toshiba and hp right now. i'd love an ibm but their a tidbit expensive for decent ones right now.

i don't like dells because dells use cheaply made parts. i've worked on dells for about 3 years now and they just don't keep up with other name brands. especially sony, hp, and toshiba. ibms are great for business use, especially if you get a centrino with windows xp pro, really cracks down on spyware and what not. as for spyware, keep the porn down to a minimum and you'll be alright. use webroot spysweeper. best prog. imo.
