Wanted to buy a new Laptop because this one is crapping out on me. Anywho have any advice on which Laptop to buy? I would like it to have a good video card because I want to be able to play current games on it like Fallout 3 or something.

I am buying a Laptop very soon and I need to know what is the best kind of processor. Both of my desktops are pentium, but I hear that those are not always the best kind to use. I will be using my Laptop instead of my desktop. I primarily use my computer to game. I am trying to look for the best Laptop for me. And I know that how you use it makes a difference.
Thank you everyone!

I have a computer friend who I think I can get to install additional ram… but I am familar with how important adequate ram is.

I plan to buy an external hard drive, so I am not concerned with how big the hard drive is. I know using an external hard drive will slow the usage down a lot. So I know the processer will be even more taxed than usual.

As for price, I am not really worried about it. I am getting this as a gift and was told that price is not an object. The only constraint I am working with is I have to get it from one particular person. Apparently, this person is selling it to the person I am getting it from for the price he got it for.

They just bought a Toshiba Satellite a205-s4707 for 400 bucks (regularly 900) from this person for themselves.

I will have a limited selection of brand and stuff to pick from and I need to basically select the best one for me out of the ones he has. :)

My Sony VAIO Laptop has an hdmi output, I have the cable, and plug it into the comcast cable box hdmi port. However, I still can’t seem to get my Laptop screen to display on my tv. How do I do this?

I’m about to start college for engineering, and I still can’t decide what kind of Laptop is best for me. I’ve heard that macs are a no-go for engineers, and I’ve been directed vaguely toward the Dell Latitude, but I still have no clue. Any suggestions?

Today my Laptop broke and I am looking for a new one to buy. I had an HP Pavilion dv6000 and it was too fragile and one of the hinges broke off.
