so i don't give a shit about gaming or watching movies

needs to be 17" with 1920x1200 res tho

and not over 2000$ with all tax+shipping+something to carry it in

for "school work" + browsing + youtubin' lolz


thinking about Dell Studio 17 Laptop

what's your suggestion?

worried about teh gay video card but still i guess it's fine for browsing video websites...?

i guess it's pointless to wait MONTHS for core i7 laptops still, and it's not like i'd make the 2grand anyway?

the W700 series for Lenovo start at 2400K

You can also check out their outlet. Their laptops are made to customer spec. So they can't just stick it back on the shelf if they don't want it etc.

So you'll save quite a bit of money. Saved about 500 bucks on my R60.
