Laptops??

My buddy wants to get a new laptop soon. just wondering if anyone could recommend good ones to choose from. He needs an all around notebook, for web browsing, media and light gaming. 12 or 13" screen.

-thanks in advance for any help
 
Is small size more important than price?

A Dell Inspiron E1505 with 14.1" screen and core duo or core 2 duo is a good choice, with a Radeon X1400 upgrade if he wants 3D power. Find coupons at GottaDeal.com.

A 12-13" screen costs more, then you're looking at one of the lightwieght models like an XPS M1210 which costs several hundred more than the E1505.

Lenovo also has some nice Thinkpad models in both sizes but they cost more than Dells.
 
light gaming would be... i dont really know actually. hes thinking of playing warcraft. likes to play COD2 on his pc. other than that nothing really. we've got a 360 with 46" tv so most gaming takes place there. it would mostly be if he gets bored on the bus or something.
