| You would be stupid to choose for a $2000 if you can get a chance to win the $5000 notebook!  However, it's a nice deal, $2299 but I can't simply afford this. |

| everyone want to win this monster but only few will get success. I think if any person can spend 2500/- in laptop he can also go for HDX he he.. just kidding i can't buy 5000/- laptop so that's why i am trying my luck to win this laptop in competition. I hope this time i will get lucky and dragon will knock my door he he |

| Being a college student starting in July, I won't be able to afford one in that case. I just hope my T60 stops it's habitual breaking before it's warranty expires next year. I've had it for less than two years, and it's broken twice, one hard drive failure, one fan problem, one power problem where it stopped turning on and then started working a couple of hours later. I hope the Dragon isn't cursed with IBM's problems...

| At least you have a laptop... I'm sharing the home desktop! But i might get a laptop later when i go to uni... One question, are laptops a lot better than desktops? Or are they really just a portable desktop? Need these answers before i buy a new one later |

| Depends on the age, desktops are generally better, especially at things like video/sound/media. Laptops are still primarily for work, like taking notes. The dragon, however, is like a desktop, completely beastly at evertyhing (except battery life)
