Re: Geek advice needed

Spend the most you can, solid state drives are nice but not necessary, no less than 2GB RAM, try to get a business class model instead of something for the home user as they're typically built better. Spring for a 3 year extended MANUFACTURER warranty (not that Best Buy black tie Geek Squad bullshit) if the budget allows.

My laptops of choice in no particular order:
Lenovo (IBM)
Dell
Toshiba

Dell's refurb/discount site is tits, lots of good deals. I'd go that route and buy straight from the manufacturer and not from a store.
