I'd be very interested in your opinion on your new Ibuypower PC. I've been eyeballing this one at Costco. I'm very close to telling my wife what I want for my birthday [:D]. Thanks...

i went with the intel but with duo 2 core(3.0ghz). got it from newegg.700 bucks. more than adequate for me. the laptop will get from office depot as I like the service they have always given me. No one at my local one ever lied to me. Never had a sales associate(every S.A. there on different products) tell me not to buy a certain product before. usually they extoll the virtues of crap just to get a sale.

cant remember where i saw that other intel(quad)

Ack. Just re-read your post. Did you go with an Ibuypower PC or another brand....

I went with a cyberpower one from newegg. Not too shabby for the price.Worked out of the box and has a cd full of XP drivers so if I ever find my xp I can set up dual boot. I probably could have put a better one together but it would have taken more time and energy. Since I didnt pay for it, it was worth it. Vista bothers me but not so much as I feared. If only I could figure out all that admin access stuff.ugh.

edit:I just might turn off uac.

Thats comforting to know (it has XP filters) I will be purchasing a laptop very soon(work required). Just the right timing for me this discussion on laptops. Thanks for the thread.

I recieved an offer from Dell for a note book computer. If I'm correct some here warned against Dell because of the unecessary little add on software that Dell. Is that the case? If so would I be better off going to Best Buy or Office Depot. I will be purchasing in the next few days.

I don't know how much extra stuff Dell puts on, but I bought my laptop from Best Buy in February and there was a ton of extra programs and shortcuts on there I deleted or uninstalled.
