A year ago I would have agreed, but now I don't.

Prices have come down, and frankly, for $2500-3000, I could buy a fully loaded (3.2ghz p4, 512meg ram, dvd burner, 7500rpm drive, 64/128meg video, etc etc) laptop. And it's better than my desktop, except for storage, but you get the point. Smile

Ok, for starters you'd get that much cheaper in a desktop for $3G's
Secondly, Upgradability.. if he wants to render and the like and laptop is not the way to go.

I understand laptops have their place, but they ARE NOT A DESKTOP REPLACEMENT.. im not aiming this at you, but im sick of all the people that ask me to fix/upgrade their computer so they can play games better, then they tell me its a p3 laptop that sits on their desk at home, then they get the shits when i tell them theres not much i can do other than add more ram (if its available) or reinstall windows (half of the problems most people have are from spyware). Mad

F**KING FASHION VICTIMS.. Its not cool to have a laptop.. Windowed towers with flashing lights are cool Razz

I feel your pain...

ATI VS nVidia

I used to be a dedicated nVidia supporter, still own a good ol trusty ti4200, but built up a system for my GF's brother with a Sapphire 9800XT. What can I say, IT FLIES! 18,000 3d marks (3D MARK 2001SE)

Specs:
Gigabyte GA-8PENXP V2
P4 3.2GHz HT
1Gb Dual Ch DDR
120SATA
etc...

Shop around, and such a system can be had for around the $2500 mark.

A little bit better than a silly bloody notebook!
