So, the jobs buying me a laptop. For various technical reasons, it has to be a PC. I know I'm among Macfans here, so this is a potentially dangerous question, BUT -
Maybe I'll ask like this: If you were FORCED to buy a PC laptop, which one would it be? Money's not the issue, tolerable (preferably good) design is.

- I don't get ultraSpec'd laptops - the typing angle on that first one is awful - why not just go for a desktop, in that case?detritus

Just buy a cheap one, you'll have to replace it 6 months when your machine becomes infected with viruses and you get a blue screen of death!

Easy. Tell them to buy you the most expensive Alienware Laptop PC for $4,222.

Sell it to get a new MacBook Pro and Wacom.
- Alienware went to hell when dell bought them. even before their laptops were mediocreplash
