 |
|
Hey CT I'm looking for a decent gaming laptop for under $800 as long as it can run every modern game on low/medium settings then I'll love it! As of now I'm using a crappy Acer Extensa 5620 and it can't even run CSS! Oh and it would be nice if I could go to a Bestbuy Store and pick it up.

Indeed, a very fine choice. It's going to have shit battery life, though, so don't expect to play anything unplugged.

I have never had an issue with acer. Some models are bad. This one is decent and I have herd good feedback. Thats like me with toshiba. Under warrenty they replaced my laptop 10 times. Dead mobos everywhere. Honestly, this is the best you will find with gaming ability for 800.

I'm not sure if we came to the conclusion that that site was a scam, but feel free to try it out and tell us for sure.

Considering alienware comes from dell and not an outsourced warehouse, I am certain thats a scam.

I can't believe you used "modern games" and "CSS" in the same paragraph. We used Acers at work for 2 months, until $67000 worth of desktops started to go bad one right after the other. Those were of course Acer Power 1000, even still I'll never buy an Acer product because of it.

My netbook can run CSS. How do you come to the conclusion that this laptop with a quad core and mid end gfx card cannot run css?

The one that was posted will run pretty much anything first thing you should do is double the ram though.
I had an old 1 gigahert machine that would run CSS.

An acer 1000? Those are ancient and you compare them to the new models? You sir are an idiot.
