Well, my H's laptop is quite literally falling apart. The casing has cracked near one of the screen hinges and the screen keeps falling back.
POS Acer.
He doesn't want a Mac (that's what I'll be getting with my Dell bites it) so I'm looking for some recommendations or suggestions for other options.
He does game a bit, but nothing graphics intensive (online go attack that guy with x number of troops typing it into a text box time gaming), mostly just day to day internet browsing and document management.
Weight isn't too much an an issue, because it's mostly at-home use.
I don't think he'd go for a netbook, he'd rather a full size screen.
Under $1000 would be best.
Any suggestions?
Re: Non-Mac Laptop Recs
If you didn't say this, I'd say check out Alienware. Super sweet gaming laptops. Heck, just awesome looking systems no matter where you look. But, since the price is an issue, I'd check out Dell. I've had awesome support with them back when my Inspiron 8200 wasn't a door stop (high school), especially with the best warranty plan they have. Totally worth the extra money.

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Sony.
I don't know the Asus laptops very well since they are still sort of new, but they seem to be good gaming laptops.
And if price was not an issue I wou;d suggest Alienware
