Looking for a site to find a good custom notebook, what I'm looking for is.

1) built in number pad

2) 1600x1200+ resolution (for 4 tables of 800x600 poker without overlap)

3) No expensive pre-packaged software or unecessary tech support that would increase overhead and price.

Not really looking to do that much on it, other than poker and basic internet and ocassional dvd or tv-out video.

Anyway looking forward to hearing anyone's input, I hope I'm posting this in the right section, hard to find a laptop with a numberpad built in it.

also HP has some Pavilion notebooks with built in number pads. To meet your requirements, you will need a minimum 17" widescreen display. I've never seen a smaller displayed notebook with a built in number pad and that high of a resolution.

edit: I highly doubt that you will find a notebook with a 1600x1200 display, since that is a 4:3 aspect ratio and simply would not fit very comfortably in a notebook chassis. The 17" ultra res widescreens typically do 16**x1050 or so.

yea 1600x1200 is minimum I was looking for, they have 1920x1200 which is obviously bigger WUXGA+ i think, i shoulda just specified that.

My big question is with HP notebooks, i'm not a big fan of HP by any stretch, anyone have anything good/bad to say about them?

I have had bad experiences with compaq , that's as close as I ever came to HP, after my HP / Compaq experience I went IBM all the way and not an issue since then.

IMHO I have seen a SAGER DTR in action before , they are powerful machines with upgradable graphics card, capable of housing 2 SATA HDDs, Powerful Desktop level GPU , Perfect for 3d Designers, but they sure produce enough heat to keep you cosy in the winter :D
