I've got $1500 to spend on a laptop for school. What should I buy?

[diablito]

Stay away from dell. HP, and sony. Get an MSI or Asus. Order at newegg if your american, ncix.com if your from Canada. DO NOT buy from bigbox stores. Asus laptops include a 1 year spill warranty and 2 normal as long as you register online. Ive also dropped mine 3 times and its 100% working.

I've owned pc's and mac's simultaneously for the past 7 yrs

heey

eeuhm have a sony e series, very happy with it, great specs
pro's
build material it feels sollid and it is carry it every day from home to school.
fast
nice looking (the eye wants something too right)

BIG CON
it makes a hightly pitched noise when not on power ac very anoying
battery is 1,5 - 2 hours so do the math

also look in to Apple must say expensive but real good
asus is also worthy to look in to.
but you need to chose the specs
running Adobe Cs5 on my sony (intel i3 2.2 ghz 4gz ram) is running and rendering smoothly so...

hope i helped you

Go look at a MacBook Pro in a store. Type on it, open it, close it, pick it up. Look over the extra features.

The product will speak for itself. It's your choice to make.
