What do you have against Dell laptops? The Inspiron series is quite good, and inexpensive to boot.

Only laptop you'll ever need. Boots XP/OS X and probably vista as well. I haven't regretted my purchase yet.

I don't think he has $2500 to spend on a laptop, he works at Target.

What've you got against Dell? I have a Latitude D505 with a 1.5GHz Pentium M and it's been my trusty sidekick for over 2 years. I've dropped it multiple times, scuffed it up, spilled things on it, played countless hours of WoW and Warcraft III, popped the J key off (quickly and easily replaced the keyboard that time) and it still runs great and gets over 4 hours to a full battery charge.

The trick with Dell is to buy Small Business if you can -- American tech support call centers!

http://www.edealinfo.com/dell/ has a bunch of Dell deals and coupon codes. Otherwise, I'd recommend HP-branded laptops, or if you've got the dough a high-end system from Alienware. I've also heard good things about Sager -- http://www.powernotebooks.com/ carries those.

I wouldn't buy Alienware, both their desktops and laptops are like bricks. Unless, of course, you like bricks.

I have a Macbook Pro and it runs very well. I have Vista on mine too and aside from a few drivers missing (I'm sure bootcamp will be updated in a few months to correct this) it runs very smoothly. Though personally I find Vista to be very dissapointing.

Anyway get the Macbook Pro, it's very light, it's thin.. and it just fucking works.

Dell Latitude D820.  Very nice, and at a very good price.

I snagged a Gateway CX2724.  It's a Tablet PC with a Centrino Duo at 1.6GHz and 1GB of memory.

If you do graphic art or the like, I highly recommend the tablet.  It greatly sped up my work in the field.

Amen to that.

Target isn't my only income i make stuff elsewhere as well

Anyway  mac looks to be very good how is it in gaming / playing movies and the lifetime of the battery

Battery life from what I hear is pretty good. As for gaming -- I hope you like Blizzard games because everything else is PC-only

Macbooks have integrated graphics so some "gamers" don't like that, but with mine I have 2 GB installed and games like warcraft and wow run smoothly.  Macbook pros have even better graphic cards that aren't integrated like the macbooks and they are supposed to be real good with games. There are many reviews on the gaming situation with them, if you want to read some, google it.  The battery life of my macbook is pretty good, I watched a couple movies on the plane with it and still had about 30 mins left on the battery. Overall it is the best laptop I've ever had (I have had 4).
