Hey, Ive used a desktop for years so I dont know much about laptops. I need one that I can take to my college classes and do my work but also be able to game it up with some of the newest stuff. Especially, Spore and D3 when that comes out.

How much are you willing to spend on one? I have been doing a-lot of research on laptops lately since I will be attending college in the fall as well, so I may be able to help you out in picking a decent laptop.

Spore isn't going to be really graphically demanding, and nobody outside blizzard has any idea what kind of video you need to run D3... shouldn't be too crazy tho, knowing blizz. A 8600GT or HD2600 would probably be enough to run those games and most of the newest stuff on decent quality settings.

You'd probably want something around 15 inches, any bigger and it'd look pretty clunky in your classes (and probably be a pain to carry around all the time)....Should cost around $1000-$1200 depending on the extras.

Do you have a certain weight that you want the laptop to be? I found the perfect laptop for you in terms of pure processing power but it's a little on the heavy side. Just let me know, I already have a few great laptops picked out for you I just need to know what else you want included, or not included, with the laptop.
