:-D I'm not a windows snob, I just perfer it. I just can't get into the Mac OS, but yeah, its more stable... like 1000000 times more stable because its designed that way, which is something Microsoft cant do.
As far as Mac's becoming more common... I dont think so.. They still have the leading edge for the "arts" music, graphic, film, etc... but I can guarentee you that mac will never replace the day to day office enviornment.
Nice laptop Karen. The D-800 can DEFINATELY be used for a gaming laptop.

Honestly, your not going to be able to da anything too graphic intnsive on a $1000 laptop. The graphic chipset it whats gonne boost the price. Something with a mobile ATI or Mobile N-Vidia chipset is goinna jack the price right up on you.
Those Integrated Intel Graphics suck, and wont let you run about 50% of current games.

Why get a laptop when you can go for a way better desktop for the same amount of money ? I have both ! I use a athlon 2800 and ATI 9200 in my lp and an athlon 3800, ATI 1600xt in my desktop.

he asked a fucking question, so i stated my answer. don't be a dick about it. i'm not sitting here fucking saying "BOW DOWN TO MACINTOSH" i could fucking careless. you didn't see my point then either. then when people started saying "ew macs suck" i just asked the reasons why. I'm not starting any sort of war because i could careless what people use. Max was interested in getting a laptop, and since this one, out of my experiences with both PCs and Macs, has been the best one i've had, i figured i'd suggest it to him. Didn't know i was starting a fucking war.
I think the answer to that question is pretty fucking obvious: because i need the portability of the laptopNemesis_lxix said:

If you're moving into a dorm, why the hell do you want a laptop to play games? Fuck games. There's plenty of games in *gasp* real life that you should be occupying your time with. *cough*women!booze!

i have a sony vaio which comes with one annoying problem -- the computer gets too hot and shuts down. i hope the new generation vaios don't have this problem.

I'm pretty pissed at Dell right now. I bought an Inspiron 9100 about two years ago, a $3000 computer (P4 3.2ghz w/ HT, mobile radeon 9800, 1920x1200 resolution LCD). It's basically an XPS without the XPS logo, etc, and a few hundred cheaper.
After a year of having it, it just died, and would power up again. Sent it in under warranty and they replaced the motherboard. Seven months later, now out of warranty, it died the same way. Same symptoms/behavior. This time it's costing me $300 to fix. They said they would replace the mobo again, and even charged my card for it. I sent it in, and when I got it back, they just replaced the RAM modules and not the mobo. Ran for about 15 minutes then died the same way (it's not a problem with the RAM, as I tried two different sets of RAM modules in it before even sending it in).
So now I had to send it in a 3rd time and I'm waiting to get it back from their l33t <cough> service center in Memphis, TN. Of course, I'm worried that it'll just die again in another 6-8 months again after I get it back.
I think next lappy I buy will not be from Dell. Hopefully I'll be able to find one with the features I require, from a company which doesn't outsource technical support to India. And hopefully one which does repairs here in the Silicon Valley. Yeah I know, good luck.
Perhaps it's just the particular model I got. When it works, I really love it, but I don't think a computer this expensive should just die every 7-8 months and require repair. If it dies a third time, I'm going to see if I can get Dell to simply replace it with another model, or refund my money or something. But I doubt I'll have much luck getting them to doing that. Too bad there's no "lemon law" for computers.
Anyway, you guys may want to consider my experience before buying a Dell.

Sometimes laptop fans need to be cleaned. You may want to check your fan intakes, exhausts, and any radiators or the like in your Sony. My Dell has two huge fans on it that blow through radiators to cool it, and about every three months I take the fans out and vacuum out all the dust and junk. If I don't, the system gets progressively slower as the CPU speed is scaled down due to high temp, and the fans run full speed all the time, etc.
