RE:"Curious comment, why do you think buying hi end notebooks is like throwing money down the drain??" Because they aren't really upgradable and become virtually worthless in a couple years. And you have to pay extra to warranty the screen. Besides that you never really get top end with a notebook relative to a desktop. On top of that my fingers are too big and slide pads and trackballs suck. LOL You have ask what you use it for...Ok...maybe you work on the airplane or hook into the internet on the road etc...so where does the high end come in? Your employees can play quake on the airplane? Only reason I can see for a high end graphics loaded notebook is someone running a Graphics program on the road like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop and that's tenuous because what graphic artist wants to design on a notebook?
