Buying a new laptop

Azorah, how good is "very well" ?

Like, wow on max settings with no problem? No overheating issues, no loose keys, no flimsy screen?

Just compare the specs of his and the toshibas one his has a single Nvidia 9600 chip thats a main stream model and the laptop is 1900 as well. The 9800 is the top model of the series meaning the video card processor is 3x faster with 4 times more pixel pipelines and there are 2 of them. Both laptops are the same price, the toshiba one is 10 times faster in graphics.

whatever you do dont go vista so horrible imo
lagg free on my xp

This has a better Processor, Owns it actually, it is a quad core. Bigger Screen, Its Hp, who owns Toshiba, Has Bluetooth (so does Toshiba) Has 4GB Ram (So Does Toshiba), A bigger Hard Drive than the toshiba, the only small downfall is you have a 9600 instead of a 9800, Which isn't really a big difference, you won't notice it unless you are playing Crisis and even than you probably won't care. I would recommend that HP any day over a Toshiba, ANY DAY. Please someone prove me wrong.

Edit to Bacon. Apparently you have no idea how to use a computer. Vista isn't that bad. I used to use it before i went to Windows 7, Its worked Perfectly (64 Bit 6GB RAM) Now if you have say 1GB Ram and a slow processor than obviously Vista will suck. Before you say anything please learn what you are talking about. The only "hassle" i had was that i had to turn UAC off. Wow i had to restart my Computer once. Damn. Vista is what is on it, don't sweat it those computers both have EASY enough RAM. If i were you and you could wait, i would wait to buy a PC till Windows 7, but if you need one now, it really doesn't matter with that much RAM.

The toshiba is better than the one you linked?

I'm so confused here. I don't understand any of this quad processer duo bullshit.

I just want a good gaming pc that won't have fuzzy textures in wow. Like the lines on things won't be crooked.

Laptops for gaming?

Ew.

Have you ever done it before? I'm guessing no. It isn't bad at all. Especially recently with Silicon chips etc. All you have to do is buy a good one. I still game on an older laptop when i'm away and don't much from My home desktop which is the best it can really be.

Omg squeaky I missed you!!

Edit: I play a lot of games but wow is the one with the strongest graphics. That's why I mentioned it.

I'm known for being on a laptop.

I have a Pink Alienware Laptop.

got it for my b-day.

Miss you too!

What server you on?
