Check Fry's too. They have a store in Concord and one in Woodland hills
Cool thing about buying a Dell is you can pick and choose what you want. You can add stuff, take away stuff all online

Re: Laptop Recommendations??
I've had Sonys that I liked pretty well, but their build quality for their laptops isn't great (e.g. Keyboards are cheapy, casing is prone to wear). My last several computers have been Thinkpads (once IBM, now Lenovo). And I have had great luck with them. I currently have the w500 model, but they have good cheaper ones as well. They do mail order, but also sell lower-end stuff in retail stores.

I just don't want any freezing up or lagging. My daughter has an HP and likes it really well, but this will be my first laptop, so I want to make the right decision. It will be a loooong while before I can afford another one.

I have a HP G70 with graphics by NVIDIA... lots of storage, it was a little over $800.00, but the screen is 17 and it is too big to lug around.. I will never do that again. It would do everything you need it to. I'd swap it out for a smaller one though. We like it... but I love my daughter's friends HP which is smaller.

For stuff like that the two main things to consider is what sort of Video chip it has. Id want a Nvidia or ATI. Then how much video memory is allocated. Video chips don't have their own memory usually. They use what RAM is installed, which brings me to the next point. How much RAM is installed. If it was me I'd want at least 3 gigs. My HP has 2 and it still drags some.

Mine has 4 gigs, and has the Nvidia, does everything we need and isn't slow, so happy except for the size.

I want: large storage capacity for music and pictures and I want to be able to play games and watch videos on it.
And I want all of this for as close to $800 as I can get....
