    Ok, I need this in a laptop

    Low Price
    Can play poker on it (Will run 2 tables without being slow-overlap doesnt matter)
    Can play Mp3s
    Can play videos with acceptable quality
    Runs Windows XP/Media Center
    80 gig or larger HD
    CD Burner
    Wireless

    Any advice?

    If you multi-table, I would suggest going with a UXGA or SXGA not the normal XGA screens. Not all sites have the new wonderful 'resize' feature partypoker introduced. Although I wish they would since my Sony is only XGA and I have overlap on every other site. Dell is definitely a solid choice.

    what do these UXGA and SXGA have to do with overlap? I will only be playing on stars.

    Easy... go to techbargains or gotapex, and find a coupon for a Dell lappy.

    Can get one for $1kish, with a 17" WXGA (1600x1200) screen, that can 4 table native.

    I have always been a big fan of Dell products, but a friend of mine just bought a Gateway laptop and the screen clarity and brightness blows away any laptop I have ever seen. I don't know much about their products but I would at least take a look at them.

    avoid gateway....reliability sucks. service does too. family members have had 3 of them and all broke often and took forever to get fixed.

    Gateway bought emachines, and from what I hear, they just relabeled the entire emachine product.

    Emachines is a US company, and had some of the highest rated satisfaction...

    I think they're a pretty good buy nowadays.
