I've already got a desktop but a laptop would make life easier for various reasons I won't go into. I need a computer that can handle large photoshop crap and stuff like that (digital video is a no) and... GAMES! $1000-2000 limit. Help me find something! I'm edging towards $1500 limit most likely.
just a small suggestion read this small guide before you buy anything http://linkw.info/2008/08/buyer’s-guide-laptops/ it is handy
Weight ain't an issue. I need exercise anyways. As for size... since I often work with files that are big I'd get no smaller then a 15.4" and probably 17". I'm going to try for at least 2.4GHz processor. Must have windows since all my multimedia programs are for Windows otherwise I'd probably try a mac for the first time in my life (I won't rebuy Photoshop just for a Mac ).
