Sounds good. Keep in mind that buying a low-end laptop doesn't mean you can't game on the go. Aemon Send a noteboard - 26/04/2011 05:41:07 PM
You just can't play the latest games on the go. There's a lot of stuff from a generation or two back that will work just fine on low-end laptop hardware. Pretty much anything from GoodOldGames will work, and there are a lot of great titles there.

Anyway, I understand what you're saying, and your decision will depend on your lifestyle. Just keep in mind that you can buy two machines and play games on HIGHER settings for LESS than the cost of a single, soon-to-be-obsolete gaming laptop. The only downside is that you'd have to fire up Baldur's Gate or Starcraft while in class, instead of Skyrim or whatever.

Good luck.

Actually Cyberpower has several options at the 1000 mark Zach - 25/04/2011 10:19:26 PM 664 Views
First, will you explain why you want a gaming laptop? Aemon - 25/04/2011 10:17:22 PM 545 Views
To add to Aemon's point Roland00 - 26/04/2011 03:20:47 AM 637 Views
One last thing Roland00 - 26/04/2011 03:42:33 AM 555 Views
some of us just don't want a desktop LadyLorraine - 26/04/2011 07:33:05 AM 554 Views
Which is fair enough, I just think it's an unusual viewpoint. Aemon - 26/04/2011 06:14:58 PM 527 Views
I'm special. I effectively tank with a touch pad. LadyLorraine - 26/04/2011 11:24:17 PM 521 Views
Ah, you're one of THOSE tanks. On behalf of WoW players everywhere, I hate you. Aemon - 26/04/2011 11:34:06 PM 516 Views
What do you mean I'm one of THOSE tanks? I don't key-turn! LadyLorraine - 27/04/2011 06:40:54 PM 494 Views
Pretty sure that consistent touch pad use would give me carpal tunnel. *NM* Zalis - 27/04/2011 02:19:09 PM 236 Views

A few words based on experience. Myrdhyn - 26/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 631 Views
It's not as bad as all that. Aemon - 26/04/2011 08:35:52 PM 683 Views
Forgot to mention Roland00 - 26/04/2011 07:17:58 PM 515 Views
Definitely worth mentioning, but there's always something better just a couple months down the road. *NM* Aemon - 26/04/2011 07:39:33 PM 260 Views
Less than 3 months is very different than 1 year later Roland00 - 26/04/2011 08:06:34 PM 560 Views
True enough. Aemon - 26/04/2011 08:49:07 PM 530 Views
