>I am thinking about getting a Notebook PC within a couple months and was wondering what recommendations anyone would have in regard to them. I like the Sony Vaios with the wide screens (17 inches wide). I also like some of the Dells.

I wouldn't give money to an NB unless it's absolutely needed. If you're dying for it then look at Acer-Ferrari. Sounds like only they have top notch AMD processors. Also there are other AMD Turion based NBs that you might find.
