Laptop with good graphics card and sound
My dad asked me to find a laptop with a good graphics card (so an ATI, obviously) and sound.
I dont know anything about laptops and personally I hate them, anyway, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Exactly, that is a good graphics card, I bought 1 ATI and will never buy another as the drivers are horrible (Radeon Mobility 9000 in my dell lappie)

Well I never had problems with drivers and I have had nightmares with nvidia drivers (crashing my system, wouldnt boot after updating, and it did that for all 3 updates released since).
I had a friend that HATED ATI and said he would NEVER buy an ATI card cause "there slow and have horrible graphics".
Then one day he actually saw a Radeon 9800 (the first ATI card he ever saw) and his first comment was "OMG WOW WOW WOW JUST WOW, the graphics are soooo much better than my geforce FX5900 and on mine it lags soo much, this is so fast and the graphics are amazing!"
Now he only has ATI cards.
And I certainly will NEVER buy an nvidia product again, 3 different updates that all crash my system? They really are total idiots, and I'm not the only one it happened to, a few days after the update they pull it saying they had problems.
And I hated nvidia, the only reason I got a motherboard with an nForce chipset was because I needed a sound card with a DD5.1 encoder (not to confuse with decoder) and fiber optic output for my 6.1 surround 700 watt receiver, and I couldnt find any other affordable sound cards with what I wanted.

I'll agree that nvidia is in a bit of a slump right now, but I still wont touch ATI after the problems that I have had with the drivers for this mobility 9000. I tried the dell drivers and they are super slow (and old) the omega drivers are VERY buggy (his nvidia work fine) and the stock ATI drivers work fairly decent but nothing to write home about.
