is there any specific reason you need a notebook, like carrying to around to school, or is it just going to stay at home, cause with $2000can(which is around $1800 USD) you could build a killer desktop.
if you need a laptop, this will suit you fine. you just need to find it on a candaian site.
try the dell inspiron series i have a dell inspiron 1300 it i do all of my homework on it (i go to school) plus for playing the odd game however the graphics chipset is quite outdated so i would go for a more recent inspiron
