laptop recommendations
i'm looking for opinions for a new laptop with a few basic requirements:
only real app i plan on running on it is dynamips
able to support up to 4gb of ram ( i know about the 32bit issue)
dvd support ( most come with writers)
more than 2 usb ports
15in screen the 17in screen is just too much for me to deal with
trying to keep it under a $1000
here's what i have checked out hp/compaq, dell, gateway( nothing really good) thus far i've priced about $850 on average
