    College Laptop: Sager NP5165 vs. Alienware m14x (or something else altogether?)

    College Laptop: Sager NP5165 vs. Alienware m14x (or something else altogether?)

    Thanks for the help everyone. At this point I'm leaning towards the T420s as it has a more powerful CPU than the MBA and better resolution and form factor than the X220.

Both the Logitech Z-2300 and the Klipsch ProMedia's look good but which one do you recommend? Also if there is a good pair of wireless 5.1 for...

    New speakers for new pc

    I can't decide between the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 or the Logitech Z-2300s. They are both about the same price but I can't decide. I will use Vista and the speakers will be used for gaming.
