[Pecon]

What kind of laptop are you looking for? Powerhouse or something light and sleek, possibly with a touchscreen?

This one looks really nice. The only thing is it seems to be sold out on the Canadian website!

I'm not getting a mac, not a big fan of their OS. It's just personal preference.

I'd really enjoy having some specifics, the one Glass linked, the Lenovo Y510p looks really amazing but unfortunately it's out of stock in Canada and I can't use the warranty if I buy it from the US. If you can find something similar to that but in a Canadian online shop that would be really cool.

why would you get a macbook for games over a windows laptop lol? makes no sense, games is one of the reasons NOT to buy a macbook

especially if you also consider that you can get far superior hardware in a windows laptop than a macbook for the same price

and that far less games are supported

Pretty much the title here. I got $1000 for my graduation gift to spend on a laptop for myself and I have no idea what I should get.

Stay away from Lenovo, Apple (duh), Toshiba, and probably Gateway, I've had problems with all of these brands

I'd say go to XoticPC and build something off a mid to high-end MSi system

Do you have a copy of windows?

[Ipquarx]

Stay away from Lenovo

Any specific reasons for this?

My $800 Lenovo is worse than my $400 Gateway ever was, in pretty much every way

and that $800 figure is actually incorrect because I bought it at a discount, the MSRP was more like $1k

Lenovo WAS just as good as IBM for a short time but now they're just another stuffty consumer brand

I'm using a Pavilion Sleekbook 15 I believe and it's pretty nice.

Good size and affordable (about $300).

Would probably work well for a college lifestyle.
