I won't lie laptops are not my forte I'm a Desktop man... But I have to choose a laptop for a friend at right around 1k or less. Does anyone have any suggestions or any great deals they know about I should miss?

Please help...

He will not be gamming but will be doing some audio and video editing. I really want to go with a amd 64 system. any recomendations?

    I'm leaning towards one of the compaqs. I really like that Abs Ryko but he wont spend the extra dough.

    That one Gnome mentioned is like 800 and is much like the ABS Laptop ryko mentioned, but much much cheaper. He has it, he claims to love the damned thing.

    Glad to hear he liked it, I just recommended that notebook to someone because nobody can afford my IBM ThinkPad T42p.
