I'll use it for:
-gaming i.e free mmos, zoo tycoon, sims

-listening to music
-browesing the web
-homework
what i'd like it to have:
-the ablility to transfer notes directly to it via writing with a stylus
-a good processor
-speaker system
-about 100 gb of storage
-word processing programs
-a price tag under 1,200

oh, well, technically a Tablet PC could be that, but convertibles are much more popular.

Or the White version if you don't like black.
You don't want a tablet, trust me. And you aren't getting good speakers on a laptop.
Dell XPS M1330
QuoteTuxedo Black
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5250 (2MB cache/1.5GHz/667Mhz FSB)
Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium Edition
Standard Display with 2.0 Megapixel Webcam
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
120GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW Drive)
Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
Dell Wireless 1490 802.11a/g Mini-Card
37Whr Lithium Ion Battery (4 cell)
High Definition Audio 2.0
About 24 bucks over the limit, but you can deal with that. And you'll need Openoffice (http://openoffice.org), which isn't bad since most people don't even use 5% of MS Office yet pay hundreds for it.
that black one was the one i was looking at at best buy along with the white one and could i download office home and student 2007 on a mac since that is what is use right now
A MacBook would be my recommendation. Stick Windows on it for your gaming needs.
the macbook was the one i was looking at so ill think about it

I never understood why it costs so darn much anyway.

Neither do I. Like I said, most people don't even use 5% of what it's capable of, and they spend all that money.

Why would you want to play games on a Macbook? The screen isn't that big, and the Intel video chip it uses sucks.
