Well, because im going to college soon (and my birthday was today) my parents decided to help me buy a laptop. Because I dont really like laptops that much (in comparison to desktops, atleast), I decided to get one thats cheap and efficient.
I got a 899$ Gateway from BestBuy today, it's a 1.6ghz centrino 500ram windows XP. So far its been running pretty good (i've been burning my recovery CDs for the past half hour or so). Once thats done burning im going to run automatic backup then firefox then done wit' dat'!
Woot!

Villain I was laughing at the fact that his comp laptop is 1.6GHz. Right now on the pc i am building I have a 2.4GHz AMD DualCore. Which makes it the equivalent of a 4.8GHz PC.

Alienware's are horrible. VooDoo's are WAY better. :D But, congrats tacoX.

Nice. I like laptops. Currently my main computer(the one i'm on now) is a laptop lol. I use it for school, 3d, and PS. I am going to build my own computer soon though. That'll make 3d easier. My current is a Compaq Presario R3000. 3.0GHZ i think, P4 processor, and like 80 gigz memory. Good enough :)
