Im thinking of getting a laptop from dell. I dont know all tha specs but i know some. Keep in mind that i only wanna play Sims2 and Lineage, nothing heavy like DOOM3 and im on a budget.
Dell Inspiron 6000
Pentium Centrino
128 ATI RADEON VIDEO CARD
60 GB Hard Drive
DVD/CD Reader, Writer
Thats all i know, im sorry if its not enough but if any one could help me out, it'd be great.
Thanks, Remember, 2000 budget and nothing too heavy in graphics.

I admit that Dell has a lead in laptop gaming but I think you're just throwing away your money if you order from them. If you want to "feel" the laptop then you can look at whatever model in the store and then customize it to your needs. ABS isn't in stores, but I don't care with performance so highly-catered to gaming. This is nice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834224018

Thats gorgeous Kinza, ill get it, but one more question. I also want a desktop pc. Nothing fancy, something that can run The Sims 2 smoothly. The lappy is for the road which im on occasionally. I really dont wanna spend more than 500(usd) on a desktop. I know its a little unheard of but how does this sound.
eMACHINES (Wal-mart clearance $574)
17-inch CRT flat screen monitor
AMD Sempron 3000+ processor
512 MB RAM
120 GB hard drive
nVidia GeForce4 MX Graphics
10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN (integrated) network
Pair of desktop speakers
Try and get back to me. id love lots of opinions. Remember.
Sims2 smooth. No more than $600 desktop budget, no online ordering for me!

Which one did you think was gorgeous? If you're planning to run Doom 3 than you're gonna need a better graphics card. If you're planning on getting a desktop replacement then it's going to be a bit on the heavy side, close to 9 pounds. Can you tell me the model number of the Emachines laptop? It will run the office productivity applications fine, probably not to good for gaming. I just ordered a Compaq/HP R4000, didn't come yet but it's a great deal for the price. Way better than the Emachines but not the best. Here's the link, get at least a Athlon 64 3200+ processor. The memory upgrade is extrememly overpriced through HP so I would get one stick and add another myslef.

I would recommend Dell desktops, sometimes, well a lot of times they have online coupons for like $750. Anyways, what's the model number for the emachines?

don't touch a dell as a pain to get parts as they use nonstandard boards & psu's

It's hard to stay away from the low desktop prices, mines been running fine for over two years. You could always build!

I don't think you need an Alienware but for 999 how can you go wrong? Since you do some business I would suggest getting an Intel Centrino since they are known to conserve battery life.
