alright so the notebook i am using now is pretty much useless for what i need.
with the tuning and datalogging i am trying to run, it pretty much just locks up and/or doesn't want to work with the tools i am using.
what i need:
80-100gig of space
fast(read: the faster the better but it doesn't need to be the fastest on the market or anything like that)
lots of ram to run more than one application at a time
quality display for video editing
quality graphics card
DVD burner
long battery life with a quality battery!
3-4 usb 2.0 ports
firewire port
s-video port if possible
size is not really an issue nor is weight as i have a big laptop case and i'm not a pussy who will bitch and moan about my laptop being too heavy.
checked out the Dell site but ordering a computer online when i don't even know what i *NEED* seems a bit stupid to me. went to A&B and they have some nice non-brand name "in-house" laptops but i question the quality.
suggestions?
i'd like NOT to spend more than $1500 before tax
