Laptop recommendation
I'm having a problem with my Gateway laptop, it just passed it's year warranty period. The problem is that sometimes when I love the laptop it will reboot, I assume it's a loose wire or something like that. I would like a new laptop, if anyone wants to buy this one and work on it let me know, if you don't move the laptop too much it works fine.
So now I am looking for a laptop with a 17" widescreen, I liked the Dell 9200 because it had 1,900 X 1,200 resolution which I would love, but I read way too many user complaints about the screen. I would like something with high resolution, I want a good laptop but I don't want to spend too much (no Alienware). I don't game much or do processor intensive work, but I still want something with some speed.
Anyone have any recommendations for my situation?

Sorry buddy, but it won't allow a search of 17 or 17". I also can't find any talk of 17" notebooks in all my browsing.

Go to cnet.com they have excellent reviews on the new 17 inch screens. Also try laptopsforless.

My wifes Dell does this sometimes also, I just reinstall the OS and problem fixed. I redo my personal installation minimum 4 times a year. Just a thought before dropping the cash.

Nevermind I just reread it and only read the Love and tried to figure it out. On the 3rd time I saw the Move.

Dell all the way. I had one assigned to me for about a year and a half without problems, and then I got a personal one about 6 months ago and it has gone without trouble. Love them both. You can't go wrong with a Dell.

I was about to buy the Dell 9200, but I read reviews and 98% of the people who got the higher resolution screen say it sucks.
I ordered a Sager last night.

It's probably just not feeling appreciated. Buy it some flowers and candy and take it to dinner before you love it.
Oh, wait, it's a Gateway. Make that a salt lick and some hay.

I like www.notebookforums.com for laptop info.
I've read mostly positive reviews of the 9200.
Goodluck with your decision, Max

Powernotebooks
I have purchased two laptops from www.powernotebooks.com over the past five years. You can't ask for better service and they sell some great computers.

Check out the dell outlet for refurbs and returns. You can get some nice deals this time of year.

Dell or IBM (if you can afford it) are the only ways to go for laptops these days! :D
