Help me buy a laptop

I plan on traveling soon so I need a labtop to keep on playing poker. I usually play 8 tables on 2 monitor and it would be cool to be able to do the same, but I guess the screen will be to small. I live in Canada, what store should I buy it from? I feel I always get ripped of when I buy computers. What about buying online? And finally, what do I buy? Also, I have 2k to buy it, and I'm not decided yet between a 17 inch or a 15 inch.

Edit: what about windows vista, is it any good?

It's refurbished, but 17"
2GB ram is crucial
Buy it now, get a good warranty

the warranty is $250 for one year and $400 for 2 year. It doesnt seem worth it, the whole laptop is only $1150. But the computer looks good, its cheap and about as good as my PC at home which I bought 6 months ago and it runs well. The alienware seems more expensive and a worse computer. Am I missing something?
