Is there a Laptop I can buy for under $1000 that has a really good video card for watching HD movies and a little gaming? ... Im looking to spend $800, but all the laptops I see come with either the Go 6100 and Media accelerator 950. Both of these are horrible. My mom has a 6100 in her laptop and cant play 720p movie trailers smoothly.

I just bought this HP printer yesterday. I am printing my own wedding invitations on glossy presentation paper. When I have the paper type set to presentation paper or plain it prints awesome BUT it smears all over the place. Then i changed paper type to HP Brochure & flyer paper, glossy or hp everyday photo paper, semi gloss and it drys instantly and looks good but the only thing is that all my whites look pink. So I call HP tech support and was on the phone for an hour with them but of course no solution they blamed the paper but it was $45 for 150 sheets so its pretty high quality and yes it is for inkjets not lasers.

I'm not sure if I should buy a MacBook now or when Leopard comes out. Will Leopard be standard or will it be a requirement to buy it seperate? I don't want to have to pay the extra money unless necessary. Thanks.

1. LCD.
I wish to use the LCD monitor as the cover. I will remove its power supply so that it uses the main supply. What is the DC voltage into the LCD panel?

2. Briefcase
I am looking at an aluminium carrier for a 17in laptop. I will install the motherboard face down with a fan hole, so that the fan vortex would blow at my knees/shoes while I am using it.

3. Motherboard
I can't find any AMD quad core mb. Would I have to settle for Intel?
I need to avoid having plugin boards taller than 3in. So, I need a mb integrated with:
-sound
-wireless lan
-usb
-firewire
-nvidia geforce DVI

If possible, microATX.

I'm buying a new laptop, but I want one that'll be best for what I do in my free time on it.

Well, I'm a student. So I need one with good writing programs, fast IE speed, etc.

And, I'm into graphic design. So, I'd like mine to come with pretty descent programs such as Adobe, Paint Shop Pro, etc.

And, I'm a SIMs gamer. So I'd like one that'll have alot of memory for my game.

At the lowest price I can get. (:

Which one? I play Oblivion, H2V, Half Life 2, BF2, BF2142, etc, at 1280x1024. Which would be best. While DX10 is not a must, it is something I'd like, unless one of the first two cards totally beats the DX10 performance wise.

Thanks
And by the way, the hd2600xt has no reviews but according to the frontpage at gpureview.com, its setting a new record for fastest clock. Anyone think that would be my best bet?
