a couple of things:

1 - could you clean that up a bit and tell his the essentials like cpu, memory, video, etc.

2 - why do you need a powerful pc if not for gaming? this would really help us in helping you.

seconded.

also if you buy a desktop you'll get 2-3 times the computer for the same price plus you'll have be able to customize much more than a laptop. Really decide if you need a laptop or not. Desktops always kick ass over laptops.

Wow!! Didn't realize how freakin long that was. Sorry guys. Well, that was all the info. guy had sent me. That's why I posted that info. here b/c I don't know what all that means. As far as power- I guess its kind of like insurance. I def. might be playing games once I get my lap. I guess the info. i posted isn't useful info.?
I want a laptop b/c I'll only stay here 4 a year or 2, and I plan to bring it to cafes....
although my post was sh**ty, thnx 4 the advice guys.
cheers

I would go with your second choice. You can always bump the Memory.

Did you check out the HP offerings?
