Hey folks!
My current laptop is sort of crapping out on me, on account of it being four years old, and bought at a significant discount. So, that means I have the opportunity to buy a new one, without my wife killing me.
I've got about 6-8 weeks until I have the money saved, and while I should have about $1650 to spend, I would prefer to keep the price tag under $1300. Here's what I want, in order of priority:
** great monitor with good resolution
** solid graphics card
** relatively fast processor
** 17" or bigger monitor
I'm looking for firsthand experience if possible, at least when it comes to brand names. I can read the specs as well as anyone, but I want to know if anyone has bought any of the computers in my price range.
