Laptops

What laptop would you suggest I buy? My budget is $900-$1200, I'm also willing to do the rebates. I'm looking for a good gaming type laptop, 2-3 Gigabytes of RAM, a good video card, medium to large memory storage, and a Windows XP or Vista OS. Thanks.

Custom HP, or Dell?

make your budget higher or make it custom

I have a Toshiba Satellite, works fine for everything you say and has a 17 inch screen for the best gaming and movie experiences.

What would custom be? Sorry, I'm not that fluent in computers, I just know what makes them go. I saw a laptop on Dell, it had 2 Gigabytes of RAM, and some other good features for only 1090 or something like that.

My budget can't be any higher... I'm not that rich.

Get one of those Dell gaming laptops, they look good and are really fast.

Don't get a laptop. Customize your PC. Laptops will be outdated in a year. With the money you have you can get a very top notch customized desktop. The cut is how to put it together but if you need help I can guide you through.

Increase your budget by 400 and you could get the Gateway laptop, or the Dell XPS.

No desktop, laptop. I travel a lot, and I don't think I can bring a desktop with me as easy as I can a laptop. I might try to save up even more, it just might take a while... I was looking at the Dell XPS, it does look quite nice. The one closest in my budget and still has the RAM I want is $1,299; it's on sale and has 2 Gigabytes of RAM and 250 Gigabytes of Storage. The next one after it is also on sale and is $1,499 and has an amazing 3 Gigabytes of RAM with an even more amazing 320 Gigabytes of Storage. Both of them have decent video cards, but the one for $1,499 clearly has the better one out of all 4 of the XPS series. So if no one else has anything else to show, I think I'm going to go with one of those XPS models.

Thanks!

DON'T GET VISTA!
I swear man! It'll be your funeral! Vista only has good graphics and costs a lot. Everything that you have for XP will not work on Vista. Its bad. Most PC games that are at least 1 year old will probably not work.
Just get XP and update it online. Its the best you could do.

I always found the idea of a 'gaming laptop' to be a joke.

Sometimes. I am using a Dell desktop (tower) right now, and its pretty good.
But, the flaw is that Dell is well-known, so it is pretty vulnerable to a virus.

How? Laptops can do just as much as computers, if you get the right one. The only difference is the mouses, which I can just buy one anyways.
