 Dell XPS Laptop?
Hey guys,
I'm looking into investing with a Dell XPS Laptop ...
This one in particular.
Or
This one?
I plan on doing some small time gaming so it has to be powerful enough. I am considering upgrading to the more expensive one, but am not sure.
For $1500 - what laptop would you recommend? There is also the thought of shelling out another $1k for an MBP...

Lenovo laptops are known to be pretty reliable. I wouldn't go for a macbookpro -- if your going to pay that much, just get a top of the line PC laptop.

Yes, but how are they worth the money? And if I get a top of the line PC laptop now, I doubt it'll be obsolete in two years.

Get a Macbook, upgrade it to 2.0, 2 gigs of ram. Then get the DVI adapter, then upgrade to a bigger monitor

Intel will announce a new chip in 2 months. Watch prices get slashed at the end of April on the dual cores.
