any opinion on HP notebooks?

Depends on what you are looking for. The Inspiron 8600 is a good deal right now if you are interested in a DVD Burner. I just ordered a zt3000 CTO form Best Buy and here are the specs:

Pentium-M 1.5
512MB RAM
60GB 5400RPM HD
15.4" WSXGA+
802.11G / Bluetooth
DVD+RW
64MB Radeon 9200

There is a 10% coupon floating around for hpshopping.com. I got the sales manager to match the final price of the laptop after mail-in-rebates and ended up with a $1723 laptop + tax AR. Not too bad. I could have paid less by going with Dell but I got 18 month no interest financing and the Best Buy PSP which is less than 2 miles from my house in case something goes wrong. I wish I already had it so I could give you a better review on it. Since the laptop is nothing more than a Compaq X1000 in a different case, owners and reviews of that unit should be albe to give you some information that you are looking for. Go here for more info.

Post, PM me, or email me if you have any other questions. I did quite a bit of research before I ordered mine so hopefully I can help.
 
I have about 1800 - 2000 to spend on a desktop replacement. I want to play games, nothing really FPS hardcore, but something in the middle I guess.

Any ideas?

wide screen is ok, the lighter the better. CEntrino is good too. any ideas?

zt3000 sounds good. Take the plunge!
