CamaroMan79

Im in the market for a laptop (first one) and was wondering what you all think about this perticular Toshiba unit: http://www.katroindustries.com/tosaa7no.html

Im not sure who makes a good laptop, as I have never owned one. I do know that im staying away from a DELL and an HP because of experience I have had with their desktops. If someone could recommend a model and make of laptop for me that can suit my needs that would also be much appreciated.

The laptop must have the following:

-Under $1250
-At least 3.0ghz processor
-At least 128mb video
-60+gb HD
-1+gb RAM
-15.4" screen
-DVD burner
-No white cases (just personal taste i guess)

The things that I dont like about the Toshiba I listed above is that it doesnt use DDR2 RAM and it uses shared video. Ive been shopping around for a few weeks however and all the laptops I have found in my price range seem to share these characteristics, or they have one and not the other.

Wireless capabilities arent that big of a deal for me, as I am not on a network. I will mainly use this laptop for gaming and internet.
