I don't have any good knowledge about computer specs, price comparison, or even where to start in diagnosing maybe a common problem.
I'm in this information age, but damned if I'm trying at all to learn about it (this phrasing is a tad confusing, but it's meant to reflect that I should know more about IT than I do now, which is diddly-squat).
I have delicious bookmark of when a friend was describing his laptop, and i thought he got a good deal; I may just post that, 'cause I wouldn't know where to start.

Now that one is "intermittent" since if I take a large C-clamp and one of my butter knives, and I clamp the knife so that it presses exactly in the right spot next to the touch-pad, it will still work; but otherwise it seems trashed.
I think I've weasled our I.T. guy into getting me a nice new powerful laptop with a nice big screen...I really don't care about weight since I almost never carry it around very far.
Do you have any advice as to a good, fast, large screen (~17"?) laptop?
