Come the first of the year I am going to purchase a new Windows Based PC. It has to have a decent video card, and will be used as a desktop replacement machine thus I will be looking at a 17 inch monitor. I will be using it with a secondary monitor as well. I have had good luck the last couple of years with HP machines and will likely look at what they have available.
Due to some of the video intensive processes the machine will be running, the option of just using my MacBook Pro is really not an option. It would be pretty awesome to have the EVDO card built in, and I am pretty partial to Sprint at this point in that department. I have not shopped around in a while and wonder if any of you have recently picked up a nice laptop and would like to share what you purchased.
