Well, Billy won the fight and I got a new laptop.

It's a pretty sweet machine and is actually better than my desktop. Billy initially was drooling over Macbooks, but I ended up with an Asus G60JX.

Intel Core i5-430M processor (2.26GHz)
4GB memory
500GB Hard Drive
NVIDIA GeFOrce GTS 360M Video Card
16" screen

I'm actually pretty excited!!
