Damn, lots of good deals out there. Afraid I might end up throwing an extra 100 to get the most power for the dollar.

Ah man, I need new glasses. Thought the title read "New LapDance."

What a letdown.

Got the bonus earlier this week, got a couple hundred more to spend. So, what's the best bang for the buck under 1000?

Lolnm, overpriced hunks of junk.

Here's all Dells with 17 inch screens and a dedicated video card. the XPS 17 may do it for you, but I wasn't able to find a benchmark for the video card, the closest card in that series I could find looked like it was fairly good (about 20 times better than my laptop, 3/5 as powerful as my monster desktop card). It's also got the numpad.

Sadly, I need to get my ass moving today. Been putting off a haircut for the last two weeks and need to get some other errands done too. Good luck in your search, and I'll pop in later.

Just a few questions...

you're into .net programming and sql databases. want to install professional version of visual studio 2010 and sql on a new machine.

can you run visual studio on a mac, or do you have to have a pc.

also, i noticed all the laptops in the links were running windows 7 home, don't you need a business or professional version of the operating system to run visual studio??

I have a dependable pc that has an intel pentium 4. I use external hard drive and built up the ram to 3gb with xp pro. I code a ton of html css and various scripting languages. I run visual studio 2008 and sql 2005 to do some .net programming as well and photoshop (actually I have CS4).

My machine is old, but I maintain it and it runs nice, but eventually, I'll have to upgrade.

If you're coding, I do not see why you prefer a laptop over a work station.

I am going to install Visual Studio 2010 pro and sql 2010 and whatever management tools i can on the new machine (all free b/c I am a UW student).

Not sure what operating system i need to do all this.
So if you meet me Have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll lay your soul to waste

I have a desktop that has Windows 7 Ultimate, which will be put on any laptop I buy.

My Desktop
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.01GHz
1.00 GB memory
32 bit system
320 GB HDD
ATI Raden HD 3600 video card


I want a good laptop so if I'm not at home, on a business trip, I won't skip a beat. I don't do a lot of C# Development on my laptop, that's mainly my work laptop. A Dell Latitude D820  which needs to be replaced. That's an argument I have with the company.

The hardest working tasks my personal laptop will do is once in a while .NET development, video editing and graphic development.


Also, I'm good with a 15.6" display and no numpad. Those really are not as important as I initially thought.

The best machine for the dollar is more critical.

7200 rpm HDD and 5400 rpm HDD ... aside from the obvious mathematical difference, what's the value here? I read its not too noticeable, other than the heat emitted from the faster HDD.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
