Here is the deal, I have a P4 3.4 CPU and an Intel 915pbl MB. I could buy a quadro video card, 1 gig ram, 250 sata hd, and 16x dvd burner for around $1000.

but I'm thinking of selling my cpu and mb, take the mony from that plus the $1000 and buy a really good laptop. I found a laptop for $1400, with a 3400 athalon 64, 1 gig ram, 80 gig hd, and ati 9600 graphics (not intigrated).

so now I'm not sure what to do. any thoughts or advice would help!

oh, if your curious, I do mostly 3d animation, and video editing. I have another desktop I can use for games.


thanks

I have a tosbiba p4/9600/1gb laptop and I've been pretty happy with it. I don't do any video editing but performance is pretty decent. The only downside is when I use it on the couch or in bed I need to have it on a solid surface for airflow otherwise it overheats. I'm sure an athlon would be as bad or worse. All in all I wouldn't go back to a desktop, especially since it travels with me from work/home/other.
