I bought the hp pavilion dv2000. It's hella sleek. Polished and shiny unlike most laptops that are dull. Hehehe. Just wanted to share it to you guys. It's $1,300.

Well um ya and ???????

Polished and shiny is not good... My Nintendo DS Lite is polished and shiny and it always looks yucky just for being touched a few times...
Man, I need a new Laptop... Mine is already rather old and more and more stuff keeps shutting down on it, but all the important things still work, so I can't get myself to replace it yet, as leptops are so expensive, and for me it's mainly just a portable internetstation anyway...

Congratulations, be happy with your Laptop and keep it from thieves, because it is expensive.Well in my country $1,300 is a lot of money.

PS: Hey silentguy why dont you buy PSP, i think it is better than Nintendo DS.
I have one and I'm very happy with it ! :_)

I made a Handheld Gaming thread over at the gaming forum...
Hmmm... Flashcard, touchscreen, tetris via internet, zelda... those were my main nds reasons =)

Nice however IBM T60 is better and at the same price.
IMHO looks better to.

Well ... PSP have flashcard too - Memory Stic , With PSP you can play almost all games via wireless, games - a lot of amazing games in all genres, oh yes and there is a lot of useful applications for PSP and upgrades of course.

we are pretty off topic now, eh?
When I made the decission, playing homebrew on the psp was still rather weird, with needed downgrades and stuff... (has been a while)
And i liked being able to use all my SD cards instead of having to but those weird cards noone else uses...
Oh, I'm just trying to defend my decission here, I'm not trying to say that the NDS is actually better then the PSP or anything... I still have not decided if i actually would say i like one of those "better"...

Nice choice, I hope you got it with a Core 2 Duo processor. I'm an AMD guy myself, but I hear the Core 2 Duos wipe the floor with the X2s. It looks really nice too. Although I like my dull Thinkpad T20...
