    Desktop replacement laptops?

    Well, sony wants between $300-$500 to fix a hinge on my laptop.

    So I figured I would browse around for a new one, as this one is over 2 years old now.

    but anyways, looking for a good desktop replacement laptops. Dell is throwing alienware laptops at me when asking/looking at desktop replacement but I find them extremely overpriced.

    So was wondering what do people recommend for a laptop? (not getting another sony/hp/compaq again)

    thanks

    this is the laptop i have.

    Gateway - FX Edition Laptop with Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor Technology - P-7805u

    maybe you can get lucky and find a first edition one like i did. runs everything AMAZING on 1920x1200.

    well, they put these monitors in it on "accident."

    the ones they put in them now run at 1600x1200 i think. either way, GREAT buy.

    if you can get over (or for some reason like) the crazy glowing neon lightning and flames... ASUS makes some great price/performance laptops.
