price dosent matter? i would say go for this one then http://www.alienware.com/product_pages/not...ll_default.aspx

the duel video card that would be very good for anything from gaming to video editing? HDD is only 160 gb though so it will run out fast once you start loading stuff into your laptop.

OMG I can't believe Dell bought them, but regardless the hardware that goes into their computers won't be dell since it it some high powered stuff, and Dell says so as well.. So I wouldn't worry about that because everyone knows how great those computers are so Dell won't be messing with, heck maybe Dell will force them to drop there prices a bit .

I have alot of animals so it needs to be well bult, and I would prefer a nice look. Price doesn't really matter. Any ideas?

Yeah... I can see why you wouldn't consider a Mac... Especially if price doesn't matter and you could buy a 250GB HD, partition it for Windoz and Mac and have the best of both worlds and have a Hi-def 17" display, 4GB of RAM, and an absolutely powerful and beautiful machine the whole world would envy. Yeah, that would suck. Buy a Panasonic military spec machine. You can drop kick it and use it ten seconds later. Never mind the weight...

Watermonkey did you buy yourself a new computer and just for me aawww, well he could do a Mac/linux partition if he wanted as well. Its funny you mention the military computers and it reminded of the toughbooks. Now those you can have a car rollover and they still will work . Although I have to ask this question why not a Mac computer, besides the fact they like to crash a lot As for being built well and being reliable then you might have to look into building it yourself, which means you would have to drop the laptop and go for a desktop in order to do that. Laptops are reliable, so taking the proper care and maintenance and making sure if you set it up in a area where your pets can't knock it off and break it.

Im a girl actually. I couldn't stop laughing when you said a car could run over it and it will still run
Im not going to abuse this laptop by leaving it out where it can be trashed by my animals, but just incase something happens I want to be safe than sorry.

I looked at a MacBook for about 6 months but the more I got into it, I found out that it's not real world and it's very limited versus a PC. Only reason lol I really wanted that mac, but I decided I should buy something I NEED rather than something I want. I'll get my mac later

I'm getting a kickass desktop as well, but I still need my laptop for portable reasons

I've had good experiences so far with Gateway laptops, and since they're not too big of a company (unless they're owned by a giant, I'm not sure) they will probably make better products than the Dell and HP supergiants.

Yeah the XPS brands are top notch as that is the computer I am using for my everyday needs and what not, and yes Dell computers are reliable its the users who don't know how to control the machine and think Dell has bad support when again its the user. Since I have some good experience with Dell computers if you have any problems let me know and I see what can be fixed before you need to contact the Dell Tech guys. Also before you install any programs flash the BIOS and update the drivers and you should be set.

I did more checking and talked to a few friends. I learned that DELL is actually a good brand. So, I checked into DELL and I think I'm going to get a XPS M1730. Its the only one I can find that has 400GB HD that runs at 7200 rpm, 2.8GHz Processor, 512MB for video card, 4GB ram and alot of other stuff.
Thanks for your help guys! I really appreciate it. I learned alot about different brands some I have never heard of! Thanks again

well, alienware has been taken up, toshiba is nowhere near as good as dell, you don't like dell. I personally am never a fan of acers. ASUS is a bit uncomfortable. So why not Falcon-Northwest, www.falcon-nw.com Their notebooks/laptops are all very good and high quality. As you said price is not important. The best has 600GB of HDD, and 4GB of RAM etc...

My opinion would be to get a ASUS V1S-B1.
They are considerably reliable, and cheaper than other laptops, with more features,
but since price does not matter
an alienware will do.
But since alienware is now dell.
I'll stand behind my ASUS opinion.
