Meh, anything less than $1600 or so is cheap for a laptop, at least for me. Now as far as expensive laptops go, id be talking about something like the dell xps laptop, which retails for about $3500 or so i believe.

You could make :dramatic music: "THE SWITCH"! I bought a PowerBookG4 and couldn't be happier. The only thing I miss is gaming. But heck that's easy enough to remedy.
