Laptop?

Okay this is the third post about getting a new laptop. After searching the Wonderful World of Wikipedia, i found this computer from R Cubed which seemed like a much better deal but after some discussion on the Ubuntu forums, i discovered that it was the same computer as the one i posted previously from ZaReason. This picture is what the laptop actually looks like-- the other picture i took from ZaReason turns out to be the wrong one (their fault), not to mention the crappy photoshop job they did with the desktop cube.

I think i'll still be going with the laptop from ZaReason for the better graphics card and cheaper upgrades. The problem is that my parents said that they'd buy it for me, but i won't be able to buy another computer for a very, very, very long time. We just ran into a financial problem so i don't want to get the computer before i can get a source of income to pay it off. Anybody know how i could make some fast money?
