If you had $900

And you wanted a laptop....what would you get and how would you spec it out.

I'm needing a new one, as my current laptops hinge is all screwy so I cant close it.

I'm wanting something in the 15" size, as I need to take it to classes. Obviously I want the fastest computer I can get. Also I'm pretty computer illiterate, I mean I know some stuff but not as much as some of you guys.

Also, nothing Mac, I hate Mac .

So what would you guys get if you were in my shoes?

Yup would be kinda hard to do that stuff considering I have and IDI and I have alrady done the easier mods. Harder ones require the engine to come out.

Jarrod you remember what all I can do to help out my current laptop? If so I give ya the task of pricing that crap out for me. I would like more ram, a screen and what not.
