Laptops are crap. If something goes wrong with the motherboard (power adapter connection is what I see a lot) outside of the measly standard 1 year warranty then you go ahead and pay 400-800 for a new motherboard. If the optical drive goes fubar you pay 150-200 for a new one. HD's and RAM are easy at least. Battery goes out in 2 or 3 years pay 150-200 for a new one. Power adapter unit stops charging the battery pay $100+ for it.

What im saying is don't get a laptop unless you really need it. If you are going to leave it plugged in all the time at a desk like most people I wouldn't go for it.
