Mostly I will use for gaming and my needs in college, but I am thinking if the laptop can take on gaming it should be able to take on almost everything else.

leave prices and specs, will rep for info thanks

You can always format your harddrive and add XP. Otherwise, I highly doubt you'll be able to get a newer cpu.

^^ that laptop can run WoW. WoW from my experience is a pretty low end game.

As someone said Laptops arnt for games.

Dell XPS's would do fine. Fast, sexy and really reliable for gaming. Has it high standards too.

I said it. I said laptops are not for games.

Laptops aren't for games. Build a mini tower. I think Antec just came out with a new cube that is really nice.
I despise laptops.

Aztec · 07-04-2008, 12:48 PM

Me too. Because they're not for games.

Love Souljah · 07-04-2008, 01:06 PM

And because they suck. Can't change the screen, keyboard, or anything else EASILY for that matter. What if your keyboard breaks? Send it in and wait three weeks. Screen breaks? Send it in. Wifi won't work? Send it in. Congratulations. Might as well not even use a computer or even the internet if you're willing to wait.

Buy one Asus EEE, 400$ or something, and a real computer to use at home. A 17" is kinda hard to carry around anyway.

Soclsrndi- · 07-05-2008, 11:55 AM

Well if I am going to get a computer, might as well buy one when I move back to korea :/

BUT I might buy that computer aztec posted, it looks really good for that low budget. Then buy a laptop just for my personal use and as long as it can handle WoW, all good.

Repping Aztec today lulz

Since you have a 2-3 K budget. I'd do both, buy a 1000$ laptop. (Should be able to find one that can play some games on low gfx and such.) Thats what I paid for mine anyways. Then spend about 1500 on a desktop. If you build it you'll be able to get a really awesome cpu. If you buy one you'll still be an okay one.

That way you have games on the go, as well as hardcore gaming when you're at home.

Aztec · 07-05-2008, 03:18 PM

wtf faggot. You broke my 8 negative rep streak, which I accomplished WITHOUT TRYING. ghey
