    I'm looking to get a laptop for I can take it with me on trips and play some poker. I usally play around 4 tables at once so I need one with a good resolution and cpu power.

    My budget is around $1200.

    Thanks in advance.

    HP Pavillon DV9000, 17" widescreen so good resolution for multiple games, and great mobile CPU/video card.

    I'm really cheap, but wanted a laptop...and I LOVE mine...I bought myself one and my daughter one from Overstock.com...the shipping is only a $1 on all their products and I bought one of the refurbished ones for around $400. We've had them over a year now and have never had a bit of trouble...ours are Dells and we bought the little cooling fan table that they sit on to keep the laptop cool from overheating from Overstock.com, on sale for around $15.

    It's definitely worth checking their site out before you spend the $ on a new one. They do have new ones too I think.

    I figure for what I paid I could buy 3 for the price of 1 new one.

    Macbook Pro, you'll thank me later. You can install and run both Mac OS X and Windows on it because some poker sites still aren't mac compatible. Macs pwn.
