So... I've finally decided what I want: ASUS N53JF-XE1 - Intel Core i5-460M Processor 2.53GHz with turbo boost up to 2.8GHz - 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM, 2 slots, 8GB Max; Nvidia GT425M graphics with 1GB DDR3 VRAM - 500GB Hard Drive (7200 RPM); Blu-Ray Combo Drive; Wi-Fi 802.11 bgn - HDMI Port; USB 3.0 port; 2.0MP Webcam; eSATA; 5-in-1 card reader - 15.6-Inch Full HD (1920x1080) Lby Lex - Off-Topic

This one (clicky) seems nice, and for a reasonable price: Intel Core i5-460M Processor 2.53GHz with turbo boost up to 2.8GHz 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM, 2 slots, 8GB Max; Nvidia GT425M graphics with 1GB DDR3 VRAM 500GB Hard Drive (7200 RPM); Blu-Ray Combo Drive; Wi-Fi 802.11 bgn HDMI Port; USB 3.0 port; 2.0MP Webcam; eSATA; 5-in-1 card reader 15.6-Inch Full HD (1920x1080) LED Display; Wby Lex - Off-Topic
2.5" drives don't go beyond 500GB storage capacity? Not that I need like 350TB, you see, but I'm not finding anything larger than half a terabyte. About notebooks' weights, I've found something that makes even less sense for me than that 20.1 pound laptop.

What do you mean, "games you have"? I've found this other laptop (clicky), and what bugs me about this one is the weight: 20.1 pounds?! Can a notebook even weigh so much?

I've found this german site, www.cyberport.de, which has hundreds of notebooks and a nice search function. I'm doing just a general search, since I'm not going to buy anything until March. Anyway, I found this one (clicky) interesting - 2,8GHz i7, 17" Full HD, 6GB RAM, blu-ray, bluetooth etc. I'm clueless though about the graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 (1024 Mby Lex - Off-Topic

Just for curiosity's sake, are Alienwares worth the price? I mean, is the quality really so much superior to an another brand's similar notebook that justifies it costing much more?

I checked the XPS 15 again and the SSD price has fallen from USD 550 to USD 510!by Lex - Off-Topic
Well, I don't intend to buy the notebook so soon, so maybe the SSD prices will fall when I do buy. Still, they're not likely to fall that much until March 2011, are they? Another thing I can hope for is that the exchange rate continues to fall. Currently USD 1,00 = BRL 1,70... But... supposing I don't buy the SSD, would 8GB RAM instead of 6GB make a big difference, or almost noby Lex - Off-Topic
Well, since I've never had a laptop, "portable" for me is anything that isn't a desktop. Seriously though, I don't intend to take the notebook everywhere I go. Maybe when I'm at home I'll connect keyboard, mouse and screen to it and use it instead of my desktop.

Good question, one that I should've answered in the first post. Now that I think about it, I'm not really sure.

Hi there, I'm going to Berlin in March next year to study economics for 1 semester (maybe two, if I'm lucky ) and I think I'll be needing a laptop.

Something tells me that was a joke. Great race today! I was sad when I saw Rubens out though; I was hoping he had just fallen to the back of the grid until I saw he had lost a wheel. Maybe he could have been 4th or 5th. Lewis did a fantastic drive, though he could have lost it all on Rivage (was I hoping for a China 2007 v2.0 ). Webber was also great.

So... Senna would be six-time WDC and, since the 2003 WDC would be Barrichello (yay! \o/), he would be tied with Schumacher as the most winnest driver ever, and the debate "Senna-this-Schumacher-that" would be even hotter.
