Need a New Laptop.. Ideas??

Lol, that's a loaded question...

I'm not looking to start a flame war.. Just thought I'd ask what others are useing.

I don't meen to upset anyone but I'm not into Apple, just my choice. Tryed one, it's not me. What brands are people useing and happy with. Did you get it off-the-shelf or custom order it.

Thoughts between AMD and Intel?
I know I want 8gig ram min, and I like my 17" screen on my old laptop.
I have a desktop that runs great even though it's old.

Just curious what others have had, good and bad.

Thanx in advance for your imput.

I've got EliteBook from HP, with i7 Intel processor (4 core, each one acting as dual core - 8 cores total) with 8GB of memory and cad video card. (not perfect for gaming) With this laptop usually I get around 80-120 FPS if running single client. I tried up to 5 clients, and at that time my main client drops to 30-50 FPS.

Screen is 17" and this laptop is really not made as much for mobility as for performance.

Thanx for the info. As to mobility I rarely take my laptop with me so size isn't a big deal.
