I would like a powerful unit, but nothing too big.

primary use for school work, wireless internet programming, school work, and occasional gaming.

My current PC is a desktop, 1.5 ghz, needs an update, and I need a laptop.

I'm seen some refurb'd HP's on ecost.com for good prices, but I don't know if I'd want a refurb'd unit without an additional warrenty.

recommend me something

I was looking at something like this:

Try this: CompUsa

 

a few will disagree, but i recommend dell.

my 15.4" WS laptop, 2.8GHz HT, w/ 512MB and a 128MB Radeon 9700 was well under $1500.

The key word being "few". :chuckles:
Go for a Dell.

 

Dell makes good computers for the money.

 

we got a Dell 600M for $970 after that 500 instant coupon. its great.

 

Reno, whats the model number on your dell?

 

how about an iBook or PowerBook?

If you are a student check out your local university owned library's and you can get a big discount on them.

 

I have a discount code for dell through my univ, but its not a lot I don't think.
