I just got a new Laptop.

It is a Dell Precision M-65 …
15, 4“screen (1680x1050)
Yonah (T2500) 2.0 GHz Processor (centrino dual core technology)
2GB DDR2 SDRAM (667 MHz)
7200 rpm 80 GB HDD
256 MB (using 512 MB) NVIDIA Quadro FX 350M Graphic card
Etc…

I am quite happy with it as it can run all the games I am interested in and that it is a real work horse(laptop vise).
It is not top of the line but more than enough for my needs. Any better specifications and it would use too much power (it is meant to be mobile, not just sit in a docking station all day).

I chose Dell because my company gets great prices, services and warranties. The Initial Next Business Day and Complete Care are priceless.
