both, i want a good fast computer with good battery life that isnt going to take a crap on me and be stupid. my laptop right now the battery lasts like 45min with out being plugged in. wieght size are not a concern so portibility isnt that important,

I'm happy with my Toshiba. 1G ram, 100GB HD, Graphics card is pretty weak but I didn't buy it for that.

get a dell, but if you do, make SURE you get the GOOD warranty...thats the BEST thing to look for when buying a laptop...

[KA-T_240]

i plan on getting the best warranty i can. always have with computers after my first laptop. i went through 6 screens, cept fryn them. then they up and gave me a new one for free

i have a line of laptops available to me as well, its a little higher priced because it uses all name brand components(i think the high-mid leve one is like maxed out at $1400 or so, geforcego 6600 graphics etc), the best warranty available is 2years...

I love my dell it has a big screen and it's fast that's all i care about. go with dell....

is a 17 inch screen worth it?

Totally agreed, ever since they got in serious financial trouble their stuff has cheaped up and been absolute CRAP! I had some of their older stuff and its really really high quality. But that was when they ruled the market...

Mine has been falling apart. The hinges on the screen are cracked, the power adapter is loose, the screen is really lose, the screen flickers and now it won't turn on because of a toasted motherboard. What a piece of shit.

ya the gateway that i saw my mom looking at has alsomst the same specs, maybe alittly faster then the one i have now and its around 4 years old, and the price was over 1200with no warranty
