    I'm thinkin I'll have about 1500 canadian to spend on a laptop. gonna be used for school, some gaming, will run visual studio 2003, vmware workstation, winxp, fedora core linux, etc etc.
    basically lookin for a power house laptop for an advanced comp/network user.
    which one do you guys and girls prefure?

    if.... if..... hopefully, if i have enough money, i'll just go with the Acer Ferrari 4000. but that's like the dream only. second place runner ups are the two i found above.
