I just got an $80,000 scholarship to the University of Michigan, and my parents said that i could get a nice laptop for college.  I dont plan on using it for gaming, just schoolwork and some multimedia purposes, but im gonna be in the engineering school so it should be able to handle serious programs.  My brother got a dell when he went but has told me its been nothing but problems and his friends have been happy with sony vaios...I made a computer through gateway(https://www.gateway.com/quote_details.php?qid=6429) and just searched best laptop anmd found this(http://www.techonweb.com/products/productdetail.aspx?id=D52539&src=BR). Ill be getting this computer over the summer but if you guys could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Both great games. I'd download both demos - they give you a very good feel for what both games are about. They are soo different from each other. REVENGEotSITH
I tried both demos and i can see having fun with both but which would be better? And should i trade in vagas for graw2?

Im gonna trade in nba street and some other games for credit and wanted to know which game i should get...I played the first graw, beat the single player, but i never really loved the game...I like sandbox games like gta but im not sure about crackdown...or should i get god or war 2 for playstaion instead? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks,

PS I played both demos but still couldnt decide.

is there a 50 dollar difference between those two cards in terms of performance? and do you think my current system could handle vista? I dont really play pc games cause i have my 360 but i just want my computer to perform well and not feel outdated.
