Price of replacing my desktop with a laptop?

[gbryant]

Lo, since I'll be traveling most of this year I figure my desktop will just be going to waste. So I'm thinking of selling my desktop and replacing it with a similar laptop. Any thoughts on the cost of replacing it? In particular I'm not certain how well the GPU or laptop display will match up to what I've got right now. I'm not really concerned with size or weight, but just something more portable then a desktop.

AMD 3200
1 gig ram
Geforce 7800GT
Hyundai L90D+ 19" Monitor (I'm assuming I'll have to drop to 17" at best with a laptop)
Audigy 2zs

Thanks for any replies.

Dell XPS M170

Closest that I saw to what you wanted; $2578 + s/ h/ upgrades

*Make sure you call them before you order and specify that you want the actual OS install CD's, this will allow you to reinstall without all the "we think you want this garbage add on software" stuff.*

(I think the Dell's are fine, as far as the Laptop stuff is concerned..)

*Edit- get the fastest rotation of HDD that you can, and the processor speed should be fairly close for a laptop*

For those specs, probably the Dell XPS.
