I would prefer it to be under 1000$, but I'll go to 1300$ if needed.
13.3" to 15.4"
Linux compatible (wifi, graphics, etc.)
Discrete graphics. Nothing insane, but better than an intel GMA950.
Shouldn't be so heavy that I break my back trying to carry it. I might need to take it somewhere sometime.

Here's what I'm looking at now:
Lenovo Thinkpad T500
Pros: Thinkpad.
Cons: ATi Graphics might not play nicely, although I've heard good things about the new fglrx driver.
No Linux pre-installed.
Pricey, even with the massive sale that might not last. (I might use an R series if I don't buy the lappie before the sale ends)
System76 Pangolin Performance
Pros: Supporting a small business and Linux
Definitely works with Linux
Everything is pre-configured and set up.
Relatively cheap
Cons: My parents don't really know the company, not sure if they'll trust them.
Really fucking heavy.
ZaReason MidLap 1512
Pros: Same as the UltraLap, just cheaper (post sale).
Bigger screen, more options.
Cons: Name sucks
Dell Inspiron 1525n
Pros: Really cheap
Large, trustworthy company.
Everything is preinstalled & configured.
Cons: Dude, you got a Dell!
It's really fucking ugly.
8.04? srsly?
Uses a lot of proprietary parts
ZaReason UltraLap SR
Pros: Unlike System7Pros: Unlike System76, we've bought from ZaReason before and I can trust them.
Relatively light.
Cons:
Expensive
Stock options are kinda weak.
Out of Stock currently.]]>

So I am looking for a new one, want a high end laptop, preferably with 2 separate HDD's, a shit hot, well supported, graphics card, loads of RAM, fast as fuck processor, top notch wifi and a big widescreen monitor.

I would prefer something which is fairly Linux friendly, but if not then I could probably live with just WIndows.

Any ideas?

My present laptop is an HP Pavillion, I have been fairly happy with it for the last few years, but I am open to ideas for something different.]]>
