What laptop should i get that will allow for good gaming and what is prices? ?

Question

i'd like to buy a new laptop for gaming and school. i'm a full time college student however i do work for the school district in Austin Texas. I know we supposedly have discounts or deals with many tech companies. What prices will these laptops run me and what can i expect to get deducted with my AISD discount?

Answer 1

For gaming, it costs a h**l of a lot for a laptop. Too get a laptop about the equivalent of a $1,500 desktop, it'll cost about $4,000. If you just wanna play games like Counter-Strike:Source, Team Fortress 2, Half Life, UT2004, and other games that don't require as much power from a computer, your looking at about $1,500-$2,000.

Answer 2

GATEWAY FX LAPTOPS!!!CHECK THEM OUT!!!!

Answer 3

I got this computer...it's a REALLY good deal considering it's monitor + printer + desktop in one.  Circuit city is the go-to for me.  That desktop has 500G and a 3G RAM.  I use it for gaming as well :D

SCRATCH ALL THAT

you were looking for a laptop.

The only thing about laptops is that they are WAY more expensive and the more memory (and for gaming, you need A LOT) the more it will cost.

If I could choose any laptop...I would get this one...but it's ~900 w/out tax and THAT'S CHEAP

Answer 4

For games you should buy the desktop, not the "laptop" or "notebook".

Answer 5

Gateway, gateway, Gateway!

I want you to check out the gateway products.

I have been chosen as the best answerer dozens of times for deciding what laptop to get cuz in the eyes of a technician, gateway is #1 of all time while everyone else is still trying to catch up.

Answer 6

One with a Dual Core Processor (Intel Extreme recommended), at least 3GB RAM, as large as hard drive as you can get, & a POWERFUL graphics chip (ATI or NVIDIA, probably NVIDIA). AMD would give you more raw power and overclocking but it could seriously overheat if your cooling system blows. Vista Home Premium or Ultimate recommended for that kind of use.
