I need a new computer! (laptop)

[Xanthier]

It's soon time for me to buy a new computer and I know I want a laptop, but I've been out of the loop so long I have no frame of reference as to what I want/need and browsing has been confusing, I can't really tell what's a good deal and what's not.

I basically need it to do doom, 3d- modeling, watch DVDs and play the best games I can, not necessarily the cutting edge ones. I'm hoping to spend under 1,000 or maybe under 1500 if that's more realistic.

Any advice?

Nevermind, I think I'm getting the HP Pavilion dv8000t http://forum.notebookreview.com/autolink.php?id=102&script=showthread&forumid=16dv8000t:
