everybody I know who has gotten a desktop replacement laptop has regretted it.. theyre simply too big to carry around all the time... they all say they want a smaller laptop instead.
I have a Toshiba Satelite A15.... it is not too big and not too small... I payed $500 for it 18 months ago at a day-after thanksgiving sale. I carry it around EVERY DAY, and sometimes I get tired of the wieght although it is pretty light. I am an electrical engineering grad student and it handles everything I want from basic video editing (very basic) to high end CAD and math programs (MATLAB, MathCAD, Maple). I do admit it lags on the videogames... but it handles the strategy games I like to play decently.
I def recomend one of the small to mid-sized dells, if you get one of those 12lb monsters you will regret it... it will have very little power improvement over the smaller ones, less battery life, more expensive and a pain in the ass to carry around.
whatever laptop you buy, get the warranty.. laptops tend to die quicker than desktops (although mine has survived 18 months of being carried in my backpack with books).
