Well my grandma and my aunty said they would gang up and get a laptop for my birthday. They asked me to find a laptop that i like and they will tell me if they will let me have it.
So here are the specs i would like please:
  • Built in wifi
  • Minimum 1Gb of ram
  • 1.7Ghx+ Cpu
  • The shiny display :P (can't remember name i think its called "chrystalbrite" or something)
  • Nice design
  • Not too thick
  • dvd rw+
  • USB 2.0 ports
  • A decentish GPU
Thats all I can remeber.
Thanks,
Nathan

If I were you, I'd definately get a Mac Book or a Mac Book Pro. Although Mac OSX is the default operating system on both, you can still install Windows on it by downloading a software called Boot Camp. You can only get the glossy display on the Mac Book Pro which also has a more decent graphics card and a sleeker design (IMO).

Yeah I'd go with Dell. Its much cheaper and you can get what you want for less than you'd pay in a shop. They have fabulous Laptops :drool:

I'd have to say go for a Mac Book Pro, it's got everything you're after, they're reliable and you'll have OSX and Windows (using Boot Camp).

Plus they look nice too =p
