  Alienware all the way for me, If you need support, call support, Tell Dell that you have an alienware, and some guy is in your kitchen within 24 hrs fixing it. Alienware has special support with Dell without any extra payment for the support.

  Spilled a coffee on mine, torched it, 24 hrs later, new screen, keyboard, HD, completely free. Of course I may not of mentioned the coffee.

  3 times I had a guy in my kitchen because earlier versions had LCD hinge issues.

  Warranty is up now and I had to fix the Fan by myself, not fun, get extended warranty and the guy coming to your Kitchen for a few more years.

  Toshiba Satellite here too. No problems at all. USB laser mouse. Google chrome. Works great.

  I was playing a round on my lunch break the other day at work (on our employee leisure wifi hotspot) and had a crowd watching me. Had to shut one guy up because he was yelling "in the hole!" every time I drew back to swing!! Shot a 33...  shmeh...

  I have an IBM/Lenovo T60p.....this thing was about the best computer money could buy 4 years ago.  Mine has 2 GB of RAM, the Intel Core 2 Duo T2700 2.33 GHZ processor, 512 MB ATI Graphics card, Windows XP Pro, Google Chrome.  Someone mentioned killing their computer with a cup of coffee earlier in this thread, but IBMs are designed to withstand that kind of abuse.  I have almost no problems with my meter.  I've recommended that several people get one from these guys  http://www.laptopbroker.com/cheap_discount/laptops_notebooks/lenovo/34546-T60p-8743-CTO-2-33GHz-100G-2048M-DVDRW----WinXP-Pro-512

  They've all been extremely happy.  while IBM/Lenovo is still the top laptop maker around, I'm not sure they make them quite like this anymore.  It's a TOTAL STEAL at $250.

  The problems with the meter are on the computer side. Not that WGT has nothing to do.. but Once the game has downloaded what it needs,most is on your part, not WGT. I had a video card and had no meter problems for a long time, has had a few after it fried recently. was 6 under at Oakmont today, had perfect wind.... aggggrrrr, ruined my game.

  Dell do good laptops at reasonable prices and you can customize them to suit.
