Isn't if funny....the more you know about computers, the more you agonize about buying laptops!
Anyway after a nip more than 3 years of service, my HP DV9030 has bought the farm. The mainboard is toast (GPU failure), the battery is half dead and I want Windows 7..... all told, that's the cost of a low-midrange laptop.
Here's what I want/need....
At least a 16" LCD with an LED backlight
Beastly hinges on the screen (my HP left a bad taste in my mouth in this regard)
A good GPU....needs to play UT III at native res.
Not too damn shiny....I need power, not bling. It can however look classy... brushed aluminum is good!
A 7200RPM disk, 320GB+
4GB of RAM with the ability to add more.
A 10key num pad would be nice as my old one had one, but it's not required.
Oddly enough Im taking a look at Sony....got one for $1200 that fits the bill.
Anyone know of anything that I need to look at?
