    Alright, so my friend is looking for a new laptop and I thought id ask you guys what's good to get. Price range probably about $1000. I dunno much so I thought id get some opinions. Laptop's gonna be used for general purposes and gaming like Age of Empires 3, CS 1.6 or Source. Any suggestions?

    get on topic ^_^.

    Compaq's? Dells? HOLY CRAP. Guys, please read up on some stuff. They're both less quality for the same amount of money as another brand (like Acer.) Just go read the specs, you'll see.

    and George Bush beat out McCain in America too...

    Dell is...
    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dell


    also they have THE HIGHEST PROFIT MARGINS OF ANY COMPANY... LOOK HOW MUCH THEY ADVERTISE... THEY MAKE MORE PROFIT ON THEIR COMPUTERS THAN ALL OTHER COMPANIES COMBINED(how do they do it... by ripping off the consumer)


    and for the record, ACER is a very good quality brand, as are fujitsu ABS, and a few others...

    I have an Acer laptop & a HP laptop. I'm alot happier with my HP laptop. If you could get a lap top get the dual core laptops. There's nothing wrong with the Dell laptops. I'm an I.T. Manager and I purchase Dell laptops for my business and work, & there's nothing wrong with them. For gaming I would suggest to get any laptop without onboard video graphics with shared memory. Also, get enough memory atleast 1GB with a hard drive that runs at 5400 rpm SATA.
