WELL NO! It's not good. In fact, it sucks. I want more space, especially vertical space, to do stuff on my computer. God dammit. --- The Thinkpad W500 is a little over 6 pounds but maybe it could be more with a bigger battery... not so sure. And you can find it within your budget on eBay. i find widescreen to help more with productivity with multiple apps. unless you're reading off your computer or something. no one i know stacks apps on top of each other. i have 16:10 it's totally fine | ||

Anything under has terrible vertical res. But I'm still complaining about stupid 16: 9 when 16:10 has the same horizontal and more vertical... | ||

I pretty much say this every time someone wants a gaming laptop. They get uncomfortably warm, you end up never wanting to bring them anywhere anyway, most people destroy their own batteries by using it plugged in without storing them somewhere, They are noisy thanks to the poor ventilation, they are heavy as shit. 8 lbs sucks dick when you are carrying other things as well. And all that for less performance than a desktop you could have bought for half the price gives you. Not to mention the comfort and wrist pain you save yourself using a real keyboard and a real monitor. Also consider how hard they are to fix or upgrade on your own. Desktop supremacy Or what, you're going to play wow in public? Please don't do this. I'm sure everyone in college here can tell you the type of person who does that. Not to mention Nony is being an enabler here getting a laptop that can run a horrible soul stealing game | ||

Sartre is a very good philosopher, but I do believe that de Beauvoir has more convincing ethics. Sartre simply gets stuck inside his own consciousness and cannot give any directions as to where we should head. | ||

In fact, I think the ideal Laptop would be the SquareTop(c), with a resolution of 1920x1920. All I have to say is, question whether you really need a humongous laptop. If you're going to be gaming and/or watching movies all over the place, I guess I can see it. But if you're mostly going to be set up in one place, you might want to get a smaller laptop (but still a powerful laptop), and use a docking station/real monitor/keyboard. If you want the big screen on a laptop though, also watch for whether the screen in question is TN or IPS. Cheap screens are TN, and have viewing angles of 160 degrees. I doubt anyone would recommend a TN screen for watching HD movies, so be careful on that.. | ||

good luck! edit: if you are taking this thing to class make sure you check the weight on some of these beasts, the top end are 'desktop replacements' and thus really heavy. | ||
