Is this something that will take abuse like the ToughBooks?
Frankly, those ToughBooks cost triple the price and are reserved to users we have to give a laptop to and they won't treat the unit with much respect.

I want to buy a laptop that is good for gaming, can watch movies, burn dvds, play/download mp3's, and since i am entering college in the fall, i will need it for school also. I need a reliable laptop that will last for a while, around a price in the $1500-$1700 range.
I never bought a laptop before, and i need help deciding on who to buy from (Dell, HP, Powerbook...etc..) and what specs i should look for.
i need a strong, long lasting reliable laptop, with a decent battery life.
With all that being said, is there any kind of deal i can find with all those "wants" and "needs" ?
-thanks
