| I am planning on buying a new laptop in the very near future. I'm a web developer and graphic designer. So I need a powerful computer that can handle my needs. What would you guys suggest I get? I am open for suggestions and advice. I would rather hear the honest opinions/suggestions from you guys, then a salesman on the floor of a computer store. Thank you in advance.... |

| I've heard good things about the IBM thinpad line. I have a dell e1405 and I'm happy. 5 hours battery life if I dim the screen just on a 6-cell battery. They sell 9-cell ones.

| Monster Techie | yeah i just got a Lenovo (IBM) thinkpad r61, and i love mine. and my 9-cell battery gets about 4 hours on a full charge. the battery life isn't the greatest but i love my machine. you can even get them with the new line of mobile c2d's; mine has the t7300.

Mine actually does run the games I play pretty nice, the x1400 isn't really a horrible card -- but it's not 7600gs or 8600M. But I do agree, these are not laptops for gamers.
