Hey all,
I'm planning on buying a new laptop here within the next week or so, but (as some of you may know) I'm a h/c gamer. Not planning on paying too much, but I want to get the most for my money (of course).
I was browsing around and saw some good ones out there for $700-$800, but the reviews suggested the cosmetics were terrible and that the hardware caused major lack and what not.
Anyway, I finally came upon this laptop for only $499. I'm wondering if anyone would be able to give me some tips. And if I can find this for $499, is it possible to find better specs for a little more? I'm not planning on spending a grand on a laptop, so I'm not expecting an incredible laptop, but still looking for at least a decent laptop that has enough power to run some good games...
Also, needs Windows 7. Just bought a game that I can't play because it requires Windows 7 (It was on sale for $5, hahah, so it was a no-brainer to just buy it, since I'm eventually going to have Win7... and it's a game I was hoping to be able to buy )
EDIT:
Bahh!! The laptop I found is Windows Vista Business... not sure how I got that mixed up with Windows 7, but I found it shortly after I woke up, so that might have contributed to it... lol. Still looking
EDIT2:
A quick search turned up this. Still awaiting suggestions
EDIT3:
Almost the exact same one... just diff operating systems included and w/e
EDIT4 (lol...):
Better CPU.... but +$100
