    Well it depends if you want a laptop for gaming or for browsing the internet/homework/daily stuff.

    If you want it for homework and not gaming I highly recommend this computer because In my house we have 2 and they work GREAT. It's the HP Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor. It only 429.99 in bestbuy here is the item.

    This is on a huge sale.

    I built my own.

    Cost me 500$ to make a computer that can run crysis on full settings.

    I recommend getting the ATI Radeon graphix card. Way better than the Geforce. Also, overclock it and get atleast 1 gb of ram.

    You can also build your own laptop at wwww.dell.com

    But like I said go with metroids Idea if you want a gaming pc or go with my idea if you just want a somewhat good gaming pc and a just a basicly awesome computer. (Don't worry the one I have in the link can still run some games like The Sims 3 but don't overloaded with games like world of warcraft and stuff)

    Yeah I'm probably just going to use it for homework, school stuff and just for things I do on a daily basis. I would use for games, but that is not my main focus. Thanks for your feedback.

    MACs are way better than pc's, even if they cost over a 1000 its worth it, you don't get bugs no real cords, you can even run pc software, everything is easier on a mac etc. etc.

    world of warcraft has taken another victim -_-

    blizzard has won

    thanks for listening
    and happy gaming

    If you want an awesome computer you've got to check out alienwares computers. They have the absolute best gaming computers ever, especially laptops. But the problem is, is that they are kinda expensive. But they're awesome.

    Click here to level up my card!

    I never recommended a gaming laptop. I just said its much more economical to build your own. (The irony of brawler actually correcting our post)
