Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on online places where I can purchase a laptop. I only know of Newegg. Not that I have a problem with Newegg, but I figure I should check other places.

edit: you should research the laptop that fits your needs, then find that laptop online
not the other way around

Sorry, I should have further clarified. I wanted to see if there were other online retailers (such as Newegg or Buy.com) where I can purchase a laptop from. I've never been a fan of buying directly from the manufacturer, always seems to be more expensive for some reason. With that being said, in case you wanted to know what I was looking for:

~14.1" screen (not really considering a 15" or greater)
Decent video card GeForce Go 7400 or ATI x1400 or greater
Core 2 Duo
1GB memory

I've never considered a Mac, as they are so expensive, but maybe I'll reconsider.

I looked at Buy.com, something doesn't seem right with their selection. I'll give it another shot.

There is also the Asus A8Js http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220137 , but some people feel it isn't that great because of the build quality (A and F series notebooks from Asus are the "value" line while the V and W series are the better quality line).

Wow, that Asus V2 looks very nice. I didn't really have a price limit, but $1800 seems like it's a bit more than I was hoping to spend. However, I see that PROPortable has pretty nice Reseller Ratings 🙂

Also, thanks for the heads up on the Asus A line. The A8Js was one of my top possibilities. I'll keep in mind that it is the "value" line. Build quality is important to me as well.

X1450? There's been a lot of renaming lately, is that an improved/shrunk x1400 or just some weird rebadging?

From what I hear, the X1600 -> X1700 was the same process size, but they used strained silicon instead to make it more efficient. Probably something similar happened between the X1400->X1450.
