Well my old desktop got a display driver error and I can't use it to do shit. So now I want to get a laptop and a gaming one. So could you please suggest me a good one for under $1000 preferably. I will use it to play MMO's and soon games like Assasins Creed, which I haven't ever played on PC but am going tot try out. So could you please suggest me some.

~Thanks

Also please don't post desktops I already have one and I might replace the graphics card on it so it will work, but I want to get a laptop for now.

The Laptops from Dell are pretty Descent. The XPSes.

However, i would go check out your local stores for some deals, a friend of mine got a Laptop, with i7, Terabyte of space, 6GB of Memory, 1gb VGA and the works, for about $1,200 bucks.

ASUS G73...seriously...its amazing and you wont find anything cheaper with what it has, course ASUS has some lower end for cheaper.

ASUS great preformance cheap price if you're from USA go bestbuy before fatherday's sale end , get the geek squad waranty it's awesome

Go to cyberpower (internet computer store) I got an insane gaming laptop for 730$, not an i7 with 1 TB of storage, but it's not bad.

I lol'd sorry but i had to.

Laptop = Work
Desktop = GAMING! also are cheaper than laptops

what if you like lan parties? i would like a gaming laptop for when i go to lan parties so i don't have to lug my desktop around. plus i don't think i could live with anything smaller then a quad core D:

The laptop desktop argument is rather null. Why not have a laptop that can out do most desktops. Friend recently got the G73 since he travels a lot for work, all over the world for months and thats how he keeps playing games. So its hardly useless.

A display driver error sounds very fixable to be quite honest..

Then the rest who have a laptop comes to my home. Or just like we did, most of my friend had desktop, we didn't mind to take everything to my friends house cause he got a car.

Everything's possible for the LAN sake.

Obviously not but now the laptop hardware has kept up a lot with desktop, its not a slouch anymore.

Not anything made by Dell!

lol you would be surprised, the thing about this error is that it doesn't have one fix its got like 20. I have tried almost all of them and at this moment I have narrowed it down to overheating, but haven't bought a new fan or a replacement gpu.

But anyways I say laptop because I will most likely get a replacement gpu later for my desktop so it can work too, but I need a laptop now because I have nothing to do when I go out of town to like a relative. Also it is summer and I don't have too much to do, I can't hang out with friends all day since they have a job now, so I need a good gaming computer and I think it would be better if just got a laptop so I could have a laptop and a desktop instead of just 2 desktops.

Also thanks for all suggestions, I am looking into it, my first choice was a Asus anyways so I might just go with that.

+1 Dell sux hard, cousin bought one it sucked hard and all the people I knew said worst computer they have ever got.

son, you send me the max budget + $100 I can build you a awesome pc, pm me, im serious

Desktop v.s Laptop argument is really meh Unless you want the best specs right now, you'll be more than happy with a Laptop. I can play most modern games with mine + mobility,bring it to friends house,study,etc.

On Topic ; I'd suggest something with ASUS,I keep hearing good things from that brand.

well i have a big fing case and its a pain to lug around. i would rather have a laptop for mobility but i love my desktop. though it is nice to play everything at max for the time being

Well anyways going with the asus g73jh for now (the best buy version with 6 gig ram) does anyone perhaps know a site that sells the regular g73jh version for like $1380, if so I would really appreciate the help, haven't had any luck finding one myself.
