i like the tough book but they cost a little more
i have a 1-1.5 year old emachines laptop m6805
64bit amd 512 ati 9700
i paid abot 1,500 with the warrenty from best buy im shure you can pick up something a whole lot cheaper
it all depends on what you want battery power or prossessor power
i recomend best buy because there warrenty is almost idiot proof but they don't have much of a selection
