I'm looking to acquire a laptop for graphic design. Suggestions? Right now leaning towards an Intel, hence Dell but any other good sites out there for perhaps an AMD-based if I chose to move in that direction?

How's a Core Duo T2500 2.0 Ghz
17" 7900 GTX 256 MB either SXGA+ or UWXGA for graphics design?

I bought a Gateway P-6831 FX laptop from best buy for $1250, here are the specs
Core 2 1.67 ghz, 3 Gig DDR2 Ram, 250 GIG SATA Drive, 17 Inch 1440x900 Screen, Bluetooth, Firewire, 5 in 1 media reader, Vista Home Premium, DVDRW, NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GTS 512 MEG (beats 8700 and 7950 by quite a bit), and it came with my choice free game.
CPU is P Socket and is highly upgradeable, and with 3 gigs ram (runnning dual channel) seems like a great system for less than $1300 bucks... The 8800 GTS from what I have heard smokes the 7900GTX even in sli...

you can find some places that sell "whitebox" laptops.

these are a generic laptop minus CPU, Memory, HDD, and probably WiFi and bluetooth. you just buy em seperate and add em in yourself.

for good graphics for a good price, I'd look at Sager.

but stricly GD, get a Gateway C-140. they are a 14" convertable Tablet that uses a Wacom pressure sensative pen. I loved mine with the no-longer availiable ATI 2300HD graphics. now they are all x3100, still not bad. Lenovo makes something similar.

From what I've seen, it be cheaper to order an OEM system.

stripped down = oem cheaper, optioned = cheaper to do it yourself.

I priced a dell recently, looked like a good deal, but to go from 2gigs to 4 gigs, they wanted $300!!! vs. the $80 it would cost you to buy the memory yourself and through away thier chips. CPUs and HDD are a similar story
