Hello,
I want advice 4 buying a laptop, budget up to about 1000$, weight doesnt matter and i need it to have a discrete graphics (since it will be mostly used 4 gamming), for sure its supposed to be a C2D, and with 1GB ram, better if got bluetooth.
thx....

UP to? Discrete graphics, and a C2D that is game worthy 2ghz+, are likely to put this well over that budget. If you extend the budget you might try the Dell 12" XPS model or one of the 12-15" models from PC torque, but you'll find that just about anything performance wise you put into it is going to push you well over your budget.

The XPS model is about twice the budget, i may increase the budget but not twice! also it will be used 4 gaming yes but not hardcore extreme gamming plus that i do some architecture graphics, i beleive ~1.8Ghz cpu is good but im afraid that the GMA 950 wont work good enogh that if it even made the program work, i know the program which ill use cant work with the integrated ATI cards which are found on intel mobos (101/102) and the GMA950 isnt actually better than that one (as far as i know)
thx....
HP NX7300 (http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3511&review=HP+nx7300) and NX7400 series are reasonably priced and have pretty good build quality. Though I don't know how much they precisely cost at where you live...

I would check out CyberPower PC's and Laptops.

My brother recently got a laptop from them. It was the Xplorer X5-6800 Notebook.
He got a 2.0 Core 2 Duo, ATI x1600, 1 stick of RAM (bought a second from Newegg because it was about $60 cheaper), 120 gig HDD, Windows XP Pro, Blue tooth, and it is a 15.4' screen.
It was around 1350 (including the added one gig), but you can lower that price by reducing the CPU clock and sticking to the one gig. :)
The build quality is also THE BEST I have seen (in my opinion it ties with an Apple). None of that crap that DELL, HP, and other large sellers offer.

Your choices might be a tad limited if you're in the middle east...but do let us know of a website where you buy from.
