what you should be looking for in a laptop ... is a desktop.


unless you have no alternative - because of space restrictions and/or travelling - i cant recommend laptops to anyone. i hate them.

i work in IT support and know 1st hand that laptops have an insane failure rate over deskops worse than 20 to one. the lifespan is 3 times longer too.

the harddrive isnt cooled enough and they fail like clockwork.

plus they cant be upgraded easily .. .the memory is more expensive, as are the harddrives, etc.

i could write a much longer note about this ... but it sounds liek you have your heart set on a laptop.

if you're doing graphics mainly - people always say get a mac.

if you're getting anything else you might as well get a dell.
