Soon I will be entering Collins College in the Game Design field and I'm looking to purchase a lap top. The school offers them but at rediculous prices ($2900 for a P4 and $3300 for a Mac). I'd like to see if I could get something outside of them that is the equivalent or better for a less price. I'm sure it would not be hard however I know you can't piece together your own system with a laptop and the only ones I've seen around are for casual users.
I don't have the specs for their laptops in front of me but I believe the P4 had a 3Ghz processor, 1GIG RAM, 80GB HDD, and some Raedon graphics card. The Mac I can't remember, all I know is that b!tch was $3300.
Anyway, enough rambling...any recommendations?
