Same one I planned on getting, minus the upgraded shit since I deemed it useless.
HP HDX 18 ( http://www.shopping.hp.com/series/category/notebooks/HDX18t_series/3/computer_store )

4GB DDR2 Ram @ 1066Mhz

The shit's huge, but still fits in my bookbag (barely).
Only $1145 with tax :3
WHY DOES EVERYONE BUY HP.
Every damn HP product I've owned has had problems with failing power systems.

I've never really had any problems with HP products unless you count Compaq since HP owns them and my sisters have a Compaq laptop that's virtually useless because it's seriously that slow and bogged down with extra shit I can't get rid of for some reason.
My dad's Compaq laptop is utter garbage and my HP printer/scanner/copier will not scan unless I reinstall it every single time I want to do so. goowan

That is how my hp printer/scanner/copier/fax is doodthing; basically I have to reinstall it on a monthly basis when I need it or its just gonna be useless. Also it has a scan button on it that get this baddood; does NOTHING. You have to go into the software and click scan for it to scan so the button serves no purpose.

If I were to get a PC, what brand would you recommend then? akudood;
I don't really care for Dell, HP doesn't have a good track record, and Sony is too expensive.

Sounds good. thumbup;
Also, that's if you're buying a laptop since I really haven't heard of anyone building their own.
If you're talking about a desktop, building it would be best but if you are going to buy prebuilt, go with Asus.

Lol thread takeover.
So my sister was bitching to my folks about a new laptop, and they caved. Guess who gets the old one! I mean I'd prefer to wipe the thing and reinstall xp but that would cost money. Does anyone have ideas for wiping a windows computer while keeping the partition and registered os?

Asus
Almost got an Asus, but it ran like shit at the store and got dirty easily.
I have a Gateway laptop and it's pretty amazing. Also it was only $300.

As other have said Asus.
Before I built my desktop I had an Acer Desktop that I never had problems with.
Also would building a laptop have advantages? I'm guessing I would have to buy specially built parts to fit the case though. I've never heard of anyone doing this, I'm guessing there is a reason....

Get a Student Edition of XP. It comes with a OEM CD Key that can be used on hundreds of computers, its what I'm using at the moment. I've had the CD for like a year now and the CD Key is still valid, and I'm still getting updates.
The best part? Every time I install XP I don't even have to put in the CD Key, it does it for me.

On Windows?
lol
Meh. I've gone without updates sometimes and I've never had problems.

Or just get one of the pre-cracked/no serial XP Professional releases on any torrent tracker, it's essentially the same thing (no serial when you install, auto-passes WGA, etc) but has the [relatively few and useless] perks of Pro
