The newer models don't have this, I think. I would've felt the shock while installing XP for people, but I didn't feel it like the ones before.

One model I like to recommend to people is V3606TX. It comes with C2D, Lightscribe, Nvidia 8400, has a good 3DMark score and it's under 3 grand.

A more worthwhile model would be Dell 1520. Costlier, but still under 4000, even after you've packed in all the gaming upgrades.

One vote for BenQ, cheapest gamer notebook (S41 or S42) ever.
