So my laptop just died on me...

[StarXS]

I had all my Mugen stuff, references for the chars I was working on... even my early Starman w.i.p. was lost...  Now I'll need to start from scratch, but can anybody recommend a good laptop under $700?

I would suggest a Gateway Notebook. That is what I have.

I knew something was up when my screen looked like a garbled mess this morning... I was looking at some of the ads, toshiba's pretty good from personal experience... this is the one I'm thinking about buying: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Toshiba-Satellite-15-4-Widescreen-Notebook-PC-A215-S4697/sem/rpsm/oid/185073/catOid/-12963/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
