its not for me, but my wife.

she will be mainly just surfing the internet wireless. doing some work on it, spreadsheets and whatnot...a little bit of music/movie watching...and a few games...really just a little of this and a little of that...

She really likes the Sims 2 games and our old laptop plays them, but gets so hot that it could damn near burn you. Sims 3 is bound to come out soon, and I know she will want it to play that when it does...

She has been wanting a macbook pro, but they are 1799 with her student discount...and only have comparable hardware to 1200 pc laptops...

Really just a good, all around laptop, with a dedicated graphics card and 15.4 inch widescreen monitor, dual core processor, and cd/dvd burner should be all she needs...

Also, what brands are recommended, I've always hated dells, but their laptops seem to be really good deals, and have good reviews all over the internet. Or maybe I should just drop the 1800 and get a macbook pro...

peace

If you want, search for a post w/ me bitching in it about dell laptops and the power input from the ac adapter coming loose constantly (and dell wanting 500$ to fix it).

Seuss provided some info about some makes that don't have the plug soldered to the fucking board. I recomend highly you look to these laptops, as it will save you a shitload of time and moeny if it works out anything like my dell did. I've had to send it in maybe 3-4 times a year since I got it, and now its out of warranty.

But they did settle a lawsuit about my laptop, so maybe they fixed the issue, but somehow I doubt it.

Not fun.
