I dont know what to buy...

Dell?
HP?
I heard Toshiba use to be good.
Other suggestion..

-I want a 13.3" or 14.3 nothing bigger.
-I want it to have a graphics card.. doesnt have to be lasted tech but something that runs directX10..
-WIFI
Intergrated Web cam..

More or less a $1000 price range..

Tell me what you think...

I'd go for the Asus G50Vt-X1. It has a great graphics card (9800M) and other goodies for a grand. One bad thing is a poor battery life. It's received decent reviews 75%-85% at different sites.

(Couldn't find my PC Gamer issue with the review)

Has wireless A-N and a built in webcam...

Maybe try Dell's XPS M1330. Customize it so you can add a graphics card (8400 only option).

The Asus in my last link should be $999 not $1250

ASUS has excellent products, and their customer service is decent.

But their drivers page simply sucks. Took me three days to download the BIOS update and the instructions for one of their Mobos.

If you want a dell laptop then check this out (http://www.alienware.com/products/area-51-m15x-notebook.aspx?SysCode=PC-LT-AREA51M15X-AI1&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT).

Only down side is that it's about 15 and a half inches (Top left to bottom right) in screen size plus the customer service is a tad average if not horrible.
