Specs I need are:

Video card >= nVidea 256MB RAM and decent GPU
Space >= 30gigs
RAM >= 1 gig
Battery life >= 15 minutes
USB ports >= 1
CPU speed >= 2.2GHz

For this setup it would be $900 for a PC, but is $3000 for a laptop.

Get a barebone with a good onboard video and go from there. I was looking at Asus systems a few months ago... they only had 128Mb Radeon 9700's though.

1k-1500 is ballpark for new with warranty.

laptops on ebay are the equivalent of buying it out of the back of some guy's van. no guarantees if it lemons. even if they say money-back it doesnt mean you'll get it back without a fight (or at all.)

you'll be paying a decent premium for cutting edge nvidia.

I don't think these two are compatible.

i paid 3k for my laptop and don't regret it one bit. infact it blows away anything storebought, especially when your friends and coworkers see it. i'd say it = a 2500 desktop.

alienware > all
