I just broke into the linux scene big time, and I wont know what I would've done without the great community around it!
 
after trying out tons of distros for both i386 and x86_64 (Im have an amd64 system) I realized I need a better system.
 
after sorting out priorities, my main reason for going with linux is the flexibility and the eye candy it gives. I definately need 3d hardware support for gaming, and there was no workaround for my current system(ati and xfree86 just didnt cook). So I would like to know if there was a nice laptop that anyone has that works perfectly (wireless, 3d hardware, audio etc) that will run with very little pain.
 
if no such gaming laptops exist (i currently own the m680x emachines hell) then a nice list of hardware that I could use in building a new desktop..pref an amd 64 platform. thanks all of you!!!
