Westwood Studios > EA. Generals was average. Nothing after Red Alert 2 has been quality. C&C original up to Tib Sun Firestorm was fantastic. C&C was one of the first games I ever owned. Got it the day it came out.
This would be sweet. The only game series on console that I truly enjoy. Not to mention every game is flawless. Haven't had the chance to play anything after Snake Eater because I don't have a console.
Just get ur friend a new Inspiron 15R from dell with the sandy bridges. They get around 7 hours of battery life and are durable. They start at $499. I would personally choose the default $549 option as it has a 500gb hdd and 4gb of ram.

have you looked at the laptop I linked? $549 dell depending on where and taxes + shipping... I know NCIX.ca will be cheap because it is right near me. It's up to you. Just not sure on the battery. I recommended the dell as I know what battery life you can get with that. alright thank you for the response. I think the laptop we returned had about 3 and a half hour of battery life. I don't know if that's average now or what.

Get a lenovo of some sort, they have a reputation for being built like an APC. And btw, you can't get a mac for 650$ :P

Not from stats i.e. read http://purplejunction.com/2009/11/20/3-year-laptop-malfunction-rates-asus-beats-out-apple/
Factor in malfunction rates with laptop vendors who heavily sold NVIDIA Geforce 8400/8500/8600 based GPUs i.e. google NVIDIA "bumpgate".
thanks for the graph. Asus is solid, just what I expected. chertoo thanks for the response on the laptop. There are only 2 reviews on NCIX and I googled a few. Apparently it's a pretty good laptop for the price. It's $100 OFF on the site so that's a steal. Everywhere else is $630+. If more people could look at that Asus and give me their own opinion that would be nice. The Lenovo linked above looks pretty good as well. A little bit cheaper.
Again this is for my friend it's not my money. He does not have hundreds to throw around.
The HP's in the store had horrible touchpads as I described above. Maybe there are some really good HP's, but everything in that price range seemed very low quality.
So far I have read Asus (which I expected) to be good. So maybe I will have to order one online for him.
