Still, buy the longest warranty you can afford no matter the make and model of laptop you buy. They are a pain to fix if something breaks. Most times, you won't even be able to fix it yourself and have to send it in. And those repairs won't be cheap.

Tell me about it. I have an old P4 (yes... P4) laptop in pieces and another laptop whose mobo burned out in probably... 20 pieces in a bin in my closet right now. This laptop is going to get light use.

I really really really like this one right now:
Newegg.com - lenovo IdeaPad Z570 (10243TU) Notebook Intel Core i3 2310M(2.10GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD±R/RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M
I always sit on expensive decisions for a couple days. Just in case something pops up on dealnews.com and now I am checking Rawr's website dealzon.com.

Be sure to read a few reviews to make sure there are no major flaws that you don't expect before you click that buy button.

It just came out this last month or so. So not many reviews. This one is identical except it has the i5 and Blueray. A really godo review.

Man I wish I had your patience. I'm extremely awful. Once I decide I'm going to buy something, I have it ordered like 20 minutes later.

When I ordeeeed my laptop it was so I could play bf2 which I can't because I never checked to see what the specs of the lcd screen were. Turns out bf2 requires a 60Mhz refresh rate and my laptop screen can only do 59Mhz.

What is strange is I can play bc on it.

Just do your homework on it.
