Well I haven't seen a thread like this on Facepunch, what laptops do you guys use?
I'm stuck on an old Dell Latitude D610 seeing as I don't want to shell out money for a new laptop:

Doesn't technically count as one I guess but it's close enough and I use it as one.
Gateway MT6728. Battery sucks dicks, graphics are Intel HD 8MB, so forget about gaming. :v:

Asus G53JW-3DE. Battery life isn't that great but it's got a 120hz screen.

Asus Eee PC Seashell series
Mine's that color
Netbook still falls under laptop category
I can pull at least 13 hours out of the battery on it
I love this fucking thing, great for long road trips with a wifi mobile hotspot
And I take long road trips pretty often
Dell M1530

Can't really give a shit about battery life as I never use the battery unless I'm flying somewhere, mostly I just use it like a desktop that is easier to pick up and carry. Got it like 2008, runs most source games on medium settings (except TF2) and luckily for me can max out BF2 and BF2142 (because those and TF2 are the most demanding games I use it for) however I only have like 30-40 gigs left on the HDD :smithicide:

Can't complain much since it can do the stuff I can't decently.
HP 625, it's nothing special.

I made the mistake of listening to the advice of my college. This was not worth ~$2000.
Fujitsu T5010

Get's like 20 fps in TF2 and the pen is so insensitive, I just hookup a wacom tablet to it.
Asus 1201T

12" 1366x768 screen
1.6 GHz Athlon Neo
2 GB RAM
250 GB HDD
Radeon HD 3200
I bought a slightly bigger battery for it on eBay and am getting about 5 hours from it. It will play HD video, GMod, CS:S and quite a few less-demanding games very well. The screen is great, in terms of size and resolution. The only things I want to change about this laptop is making the palmrest and touchpad matte black (Seriously, glossy black is the worst material ever for a palmrest) and maybe one of those new AMD E-350 chipsets that are better on battery life.

My palmrest on my Gateway MT6728 (as posted above) has a brushed aluminum palmrest. And since none of the electrical outlets in my house are grounded, it shocks me almost every time I touch it. :/
I've got a CR48 that I put win7 ultimate on.

The specs are not bad for its price, so I bought it.
Why do they insist on putting those fucking stickers all over the inside next to the touchpad? My mum bought one and it came with five,
yes five stickers and when I tried to remove them they left that shit you get from old stickers.
They need to stop doing that.

Pentium Dual Core 2.16Ghz
3Gigs Ram (started off with 2 but I upgraded)
Some awful Intel GMA Graphics chip.
150Gb hard drive.
What makes it worse is that this is the main computer I use. No wonder I don't play many PC games.

apart from the 4500 GPU it's actually a pretty nice laptop, Quite tough too especially for a HP.
Does anyone else install a fresh copy of windows 7 soon as they get their laptop?

Fuck no, Linux only.
I like having linux on a netbook, people think you're a hacker.
If your really pro you dual boot
[QUOTE=jlj1;31344418]If your really pro you dual boot[/QUOTE]
I would, but Arch and grub don't like installing to an external hard drive. The install has failed 3 times in a row.

GooGone. Just do your best at removing the sticker, then put some GooGone on a cloth and rub it off. It's awesome stuff.
