    Default Purchasing a lap top.

    Sup guys, my old computer isn't cutting it for me, and im looking to purchase ME a personal laptop, as opposed to sharing a shitty thing w/ family. I'm looking for one around $600 and was wondering if anybody could link me to one.

    I'm looking for something that will effectively play WoW without having to have all the graphics on dead low, so its all blockey (like runescape :s), and something that can run itunes & msn at the same time. my current computer locks up in itunes

    For $600? Good luck... I had a custom Laptop just to play video games. The problem is in the graphic cards, the CPU and ram its tons enough but the GPUs suck ass in them. My laptop was $1800 when I got it, it has a separate video card 512mb for hardcore games.

    something that would be able to at least let me walk around in like Shat/origmar would be awesome, not necisarly on high settings though.

    Yeah, 600 bucks isn't going to cut it for a laptop that can do what you want. 600 would work for a pc though.

    find me a good PC then, cause laptop/or not doesnt really matter, and i'd need a monitor too.

    Tigerdirect.com or use the Dell Build-To-Order PC/Laptop thing.

    Best thing to do. Make sure you get 250GB+ Harddrive and 3GB+ RAM, along with a good video card!

    Just look on newegg for the monitor, they got all kinds, I just bought one 21.5" 1080p with HDMI in, so I can play 360 on it. It rocks, but was expensive cuzza the HDMI, and it's ASUS.

    Pretty much just sort by price, and look at what they got.

    check out costoc.com and look at there refurbs. They had like a $2000 laptop for 780 bucks last time i checked. That computer could have run like 3 WOW's at the same time plus all highest graphics. I would look into refurbs with warranties.

    Its not a beast, but for $600 you're not going to get a gaming laptop.

    http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668236.php

    4 Gigs of RAM, nice 640 GB HDD, but the processor is not completely gamer, but would handle WoW and the quad would be a nice couple year future proof and handle that locking up iTunes. Integrated graphics though. And its available at Tigerdirect/Amazon.

    Personally I'd save up and buy a re-conditioned MacBook, and run parallels on it - If at all possible!

    Remember not to get too exited on a computer having loads of RAM, mine (laptop) has Intel Pentium dual core 2.0 Ghz and 3GB RAM, when CPU is screaming 97% RAM is chilling at 40's.
