Laptop Recommendations?

[rockeyman2]

I am looking for a laptop for under $1000. I have heard many good things about Dells. Anyone have any suggestions? I would like to get the most for my money. If I went with a Dell would I just be paying for the name?

I'm wanting a processor over 1.7 Ghz and atleast 256 MB memory. Decent Graphics card would be nice. (128 MB or so) DVD Drive/CD burner.

Any suggestions of a brand I should look at or any specific models would be a great help.

Thanks alot!

The intel mobile processors are built like amd 64 processors. 7 layer architecture instead of 10 or something like that. Anyway, they benchmark nice. Make sure whatever you get has an Intel M proc.

What exactly do you want to do with this machine?

Word Processing, Internet, I need to be able to open many applications at once, and watching DVDs.

Yeah supposabdly Dell laptops are good. My uncle says they use them exclusivly at work because their the most reliable in their price class.

Check out the Averatec laptops btw, I have one it's good. Only thing that annoys me is that I hit the touchpad while typing

This one looks good. Although the graphics card is terrible.
