I'd recommend just buy your own parts from a place like NCIX.com and just put the computer together... ohh wait you said laptop nvm, uhh lemme think maybe VOODOO laptops. Or alienware, they're cool.

The Alienware Aurora mALX comes to mind.
IMHO the Dell Inspiron E1705 equipped with GeForce 7900 GS offers the best bang for your buck. Dell had an awesome deal a few days ago.

I have been using Dell laptops for the last 8 years, maybe even more. I thought there would be some faster laptops out there. I love Dell's support and service.
I checked the alienware ones, thanks Dave...those look good and now that Dell has bought them out they will prolly have the same great support too. I am checking nciz out now too.
thanks....are there any other recommendations?

If your looking for the fastest, you would definately be wanting to pick up a 64bit processor with a 64bit version OS. Alienware offer some of the nicest machines I have come across.

how about processors, is a p4/3.8HT faster or slower than a core duo 2.33? Its not for gaming, but it is for video editing & photoshopping while running other common apps like outlook, firefox, excel, IM clients, etc...
