    Hey Y'all (that food channel :P)

    My brother is going from the 8th Grade to 9th Grade (not that much of a deal in India) but here they call it a big accomplishment

    I have my own Desktop and Laptop but my bro is stuck on a desktop with ----ty specs

    So I was wondering where can I get a good looking Laptop for my brother (around 15.1 or 15.4") so he can use it for a couple of years
    and also if it has some good graphics card for some games and stuff

    Other than that around 500-750 USD should be fine right??

    I need this by tomorrow,
    and the stores nearby me are

    Fry's, Best Buy, ... Circut City, so yeah...those would be good

    Thanks

    Thats a good laptop. The video card is also pretty good, its video card is similar to the video card my laptop has, 8600gt, so it can handle most games well. Also why couln't the laptop not run home premium? It has a dedicated video card, so of course it can handle home premium. One thing though, i thought you said you wanted it to be around $500-$750?

    Thanks :)

    At this point Money is not an issue since this is a present for my brother, so i can go all out.
    But, as I know that my parents will kill me for spending too much money so I am probably going to get that laptop for 1k :D

    Also it comes with Home Premium, so if my brother does not like the vista interface, I might just buy an OEM version of the XP Professsional and replace vista forthat
    but it all depends on him!

    And as for the video card it has
    NVIDIA GeForce G9500M GS
    Which in my case is good enough for most of the current and future games right?

    Yeah, you can revert to the old Windows interface in Vista by going to Control panel -> Taskbar & Start Menu
