On-line Notebook Retailers

Dell

Nice computers at competitive prices. Make sure to do a search for "Dell Coupons" before purchasing, as it's possible to get up to 30% off.

IBM

http://www.ibm.com/

IBM offers notebooks that rival Dell's, however, they also cost quite a bit more. IBM was a possible candidate, but given that their prices were at least $400 more for a similar configuration, I chose to go with Dell. Additionally, IBM didn't offer a fast enough graphics processor.
