(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); OK so I'm looking into my first laptop which will mainly be for college when i start in September, I was wonder what laptop would be better for gaming also and what games these two laptops could run.
These two laptop were the two Ive found that are not to badly priced and built
let me know what you guys think and what computer is better and or if you guys know a better laptop.
my price range is no more than $549 before taxes, Id prefer not to spend anymore being as its my first laptop and its only the money I have left after my tuition.

I'm not sure if those would be the best for games. Try something like this laptop:

I know it's way over your price range, but gaming laptops are really expensive because of their high CPU power and really good graphics/sound cards. It will be really hard to find one for a cheaper price.

Hope I helped Smile

Thats actually a tricky choice, as the acer has far superior processor, but its graphics card only internal meaning not very good at all for any gaming. Where as the toshiba has low power processor but an okay graphics card. But that might not be of much use anyway when it is combined with the processor it is with.

I say keep looking, you will be able to get the price cheaper by going for 4GB of ram (6GB is overkill in these laptops). With that extra saved cash you should be able to get a average processor and graphics card in a laptop.

ya i don't want to spend more then $550 because its my first laptop and its more for my schooling in september
and well i know what you mean but i prefer the 6gb of ram because it helps with the speed and i want an i3 or equivalent processor and apparently you cant put a video card in those computers which kinda annoyed me... or id get the acer and through a video card in it

I wouldn't know, you just understand you will not get a brilliant laptop for what your budget is.
