[Phantom]

Normally I would never say this but.. futureshop or bestbuy sell Toshibia which are good makes I know my dads work that's all they use. Good laptops and never had any problems. Dell is pretty good too from wat I've heard. U seem to have an idea wat you want in a laptop just pick one of the models that seems pretty good and upgrade it to wat you need. Dells website is pretty good for that. Pick something in the 1200 range and just add onto it for the extras HD space, burner etc.
