As an editor for a tech book publisher I...Hi, Doug. As an editor for a tech book publisher I've worked with a couple of authors who've written about laptops. <BR/><BR/>Obviously, there's plenty to choose from, but whichever laptop you get should depend entirely on what you use it for. If you want a laptop that'll play games, systems like those from Alienware, Falcon Northwest or a Dell XPS could all do the trick for you. If you want a light, business laptop, I'd say look at the ThinkPad line from Lenovo (these are the laptops that used to be marketed under IBM's brand). I'm not a Mac guy so I don't know what your options are there, but I'm sure if it fits your needs there's some form of iBook or whatever that will do the trick. <BR/><BR/>For the non-Apple world, generally Intel's Centrino line using Pentium D processors seems to review better does AMD's Sempron line of laptop CPUs. I would say don't go for less than 512KB of RAM, a hard drive of no less than 40-60GB (and a 7200RPM spin rate is very important), and if you play any games a good video graphics chipset. Not sure what's top of the line these days, but in the desktop world I know you'd want one from ATI or nVidia that has about 256MB of dedicated video memory.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck. Btw, I've only just started reading your blog, but it's entertaining as hell. Love the title. You don't see many obscure references to Grosse Pointe Blank these days. :)<BR/>---Todd<BR/>sportsgamer.blogspot.comtodd brakkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051954225515495204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-1131495066409408152005-11-08T19:11:00.000-05:002005-11-08T19:11:00.000-05:00I was always more of a Adriana Lima or Alessandra ...I was always more of a Adriana Lima or Alessandra Ambrosio guy.
