D: SO many divorced people.

I think like 60%, if not more, of the people on these forums's parents are divorced.

It's not the same laptop I mentioned before, but it's similar in specs and size.

I built this alienware. Would it be able to run all of the games that I mentioned before?

if you have a 900 dollar budget you can get a sweet ass gaming desktop.

or a piece of stuff laptop...
laptops dont even began to be decent for gaming till about 1500 bucks.



it is quite literally 50% MORE price for 50% LESS power when comparing laptop to desktop.

Get $700 gaming desktop, which will run any game out if you build it yourself. Then with the $300 left get a netbook. You will get 2 computers, will be able to browse the web and play tiny games on the go, and play the big boy games at home.

I think the CD drive is on the back
They cant make a gaming laptop without being able to actually be able to insert games into it

But can't DVD drives read CDs?

• Under $1000
• Good for gaming

Pick one only.

Seriously, you won't find a GOOD gaming laptop under $1000.

Yeah
For me anyways

Pick one only.

Seriously, you won't find a GOOD gaming laptop under $1000.

very few laptops for under 1000$ are good for gaming.


most computers these days are around 1000-1200$ just for a good gaming comp
