[QUOTE="stonehill_troll, post: 3646877, member: 27688"] Be mindful that Dell actually does not make their own laptop, they purchase them from manufacturers and then brand them "Dell". ASUS and CLEVO are two that I remember, but there are 2-3 more actual companies that make them and then sell to resellers like Dell, HP, etc. Also size of the screen/unit count. I found 12"-14" to be too small and 17"-19" to be too big for taking to my weekly games and traveling on vacation with (hotels generally have free wireless LANs to connect to). When I bought mine, about 2 years ago, I did a lot of research over 3 months before I chose a ASUS Z70VA acreen 15.4", processor PM 2ghz, 2 gb RAM, Video ATI x700. What I did is join a couple of laptop discussion boards and read poster's commets/feedback on laptop they recently purchased. You can buy them from small resellers and get a better deal and cheaper warreaty in most cases. I would post your requirements at several laptop discussion boards and wait for responses and recommendations. Links are below. Do not buy a laptop with a integrated graphic card.
