    Talk to Atif...

    Im really happy with my laptop though... wasnt too bad at all on price either, i paid like $1500 last July (2004). Its a Dell Inspiron 8600 (pentium M 1.6), 15.4 upgraded lcd, 1 gig of memory, etc.

    Id stay away from Compaq and HP though... just a warning.

    So true, just like i said in my first post. Only thing by HP I buy is their printers, which I have been buying for over 10 years and never had a problem. They make a great printer- just not computer.
