don't waste your money on a microsoft based pile of poo, buy yourself an apple laptop. they are beautifully crafted, excellent battery performance and look so much better than any pc laptop on the market. in addition, it won't crash every 30minutes and tell you it wants to send an error report to "help improve m$"

Have had my laptop...7-8 months now? Not a single crash yet. I think it looks great, and it didn't cost me thousands. (Good luck finding an Apple powerbook for "cheap") Battery has never died on me either, but it's usually plugged in so that is never a problem. You'll find alot of Apple's customers are driven purely by looks and the ideaology(sp?) "i'm too lazy to protect my computer and take care of it, i'll get one that does everything for me". Personally, I like what I'm familiar with and because I'm familiar with it I can be very effective with it.
Just my opinion.
