Default Best Laptop <$1000
Alright, I need a new laptop for college that cannot pass $1000. I will do be doing normal stuff that students do on a lappy which includes homework, listening to music, internet, watching vids, download, and I will also be doing some mild gaming on it, probably just CSS. So whats the best laptop that I could get that can do all that for up to $1000?

You can get one of the Gateway FX series on sale at bestbuy for around a thousand. Can't really beat it for the price.

Dell XPS M1530 Starts at $999 with a C2D at 1.83 GHz, 2 GB DDR2, and an NVidia 8600m which is plenty sufficient for CS:S +some. One of the best selling at the moment.

Asus makes great cheap laptops but I'm not sure how well Source will run.

You can't go wrong with any that have been suggested so far, but the Dell XPS is a sexy beast for that price. . .
