I got a compaq laptop. Its about 4 years old but it still kicks arse. Havent really had any problems with it except the battery died, and the speakers stopped working after I spilt beer in it. I'd agree with what you are saying about the  graphics adaptor. 128MB shared probably means something like 32MB with the rest borrowed from RAM.

Yes I have got the moneys to buy really good laptop but it would be nice if brilliant design laptop have Core 2 duo with Geforce 7300 or 7600 then it would be good value for moneys even thought most people say that I am better off buying Desktop like

CORE 2 DUO E6300
2 GB RAM
GEFORCE 8800       (there no point upgrading graphics cards now if the Direct 10 games come in September 2007 and onward unless I was using window vista and coding darkbasicpro for direct 10!)

cheers

I don't see what's so special about that laptop. There must be better deals with better screen, CPU and GPU.

Hey Jim,

I just like the design of the laptop and if you can see core 2 duo with Geforce 7300 or 7600 then please let me know

If you're spending that sort of money on a laptop you could get one built with Dell with a better specification than that one in PC world.

After buying my first laptop the two main pieces of advice I'd give you are to make sure it has a good keyboard and also that it has a good, bright screen.

My advice is to make sure you get a decent warranty of 2 or 3 years.  It's not like a desktop where if a bit breaks the replacement costs next to nothing.  If it breaks and it's not under warranty, that's probably the end of your laptop.
