that accer is a very good find thanks, bookmarking that link

but how does the phenom compare to the core 2 duo you posted i thought core 2 duo was older tech

and as far as the nvidia ge force gtx 260m is that better than the radeon hd 6550m? but great find thanks

hey people! long time reader but barely post

got a question though, i am getting a new laptop by end of summer and budget is 600$ any body have any ideas as to what to get?

Ive done some research and heard that the amd phenom II quadcores are pretty much better and cheaper than any of intels dual cores even up to the lower end core i5s

also as far as the gpu goes i should pretty much avoid anything intel, but i see alot of the intel hd graphics and ati mobility radeon but very few nvidia's. im hard pressed to find a laptop that combines both processor power and videocard for my budget its always good processor but sucky video card or vice versa.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

ps i understand a desktop would be better for gaming but right now i need something that i can move with you know thanks in advance guys
