Laptop Recommendations??
I am going to be purchasing a new laptop in the next week or so and would like some pointers on which way I should go. Right now I am leaning toward this guy:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2361498,00.asp
I want: large storage capacity for music and pictures and I want to be able to play games and watch videos on it.
And I want all of this for as close to $800 as I can get....

Re: Laptop Recommendations??
We have two Sony laptops - love them. Not this particular model that you have mentioned. I have never known anyone to be sorry they got a Sony. My only regret is that one of them has a 17 inch screen - I will NEVER do that with a laptop again!!!!!

Whatever one you get, you really should have it shipped out to me first. That way I can... you know, break it in for you, make sure you got a good deal and that it will hold up to the rigors of use.
If I have any problems with it or spill coffee on the keyboard I'll be certain to ship back to you right away.

Yeah, I had already thought that the bigger screens seem a little cumbersome. I don't want to feel like I am hauling furniture around! LOL!

What kind of games? If you are looking at serious 3d gaming, forget getting a laptop or be prepared to spend close to 2k. The Video chip/card, is what you need to look at when thinking of playing games. Otherwise to watch videos and all the other stuff you can go low to $350 as long as the HD is what you like. Even then you can get rather large thumb drives for next to nothing now adays

Re: Laptop Recommendations??
IMO Sony's are not the way to go. Why? They are way overpriced for what you get. I like HPs for cheap laptops. And for serious gaming they have a big hunkin laptop with no battery life for gaming. Also check other companies...no name companies. Alienware used to be one but they got bought out by some other company.
Dell too, but I hate mail order

No, not hard core gaming, but I do like playing Sims, and some other downloaded hidden object, and puzzle type games.
I just don't want any freezing up or lagging. My daughter has an HP and likes it really well, but this will be my first laptop, so I want to make the right decision. It will be a loooong while before I can afford another one.
