I want to buy a laptop. It's main purpose will be to play poker.

What I want:
Play 4 tables at once with little or no overlap.
Cheap. Cost up to $1500.
It doesn't need to be running Vista.
Solid computer that won't crash on me. Good wireless.

The computer's main purpose will be for playing poker. Thanks

any new laptop will do you just fine. they all have ample room for memory and nice graphics. min 15" screen but would recomend larger. wait until thanksgiving and you'll catch incredible deals. i bought mine from office depot (an HP Pavilionze4900) a few years ago on the friday after thanksgiving for the same price as best buy and circuit city had theirs with no wait and instant rebates at the store. i actually ended up buying 2 b/c it was such a great deal. one for me one for the wife

I'm using a 15.4 inch screen laptop, it's not as much about the screen size as it is the graphics card and screen display.

All this for $1,121. Dell Inspiron 1521, you can add another $375 worth of components if needed, and that resolution should be perfect for 4-tabling.
