Advise on Laptop

    Lets say that I have €2500 to spend on a Laptop

    I was thinking about DELL or Toshiba, but would like to hear about other peoples experiences

    Ideally I need something that would run memory hogging processes that would run parallel. Like JBuilder, DreamWeaver, Adobe PhotoShop, etc....

    High End Graphics also required, with a 15" Screen minimum

    Thanks

    Quality wise i would think you will be hard pressed to find a better machine than a Toshiba, except maybe an IBM or Apple (if you want to go that road). Dell make good Laptops, Toshiba make excellence!! Make sure you get one with a G-Force chip in it or else you will end up with shared memory wich is no good. I did not bother with a G-Force on mine and i regret it now as while i dont play games on mine, i at least would like the option.. might be handy to have a kick ass laptop for lan parties... no hogging a whole rig around!!
