(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.

If it is for school only, just go with apple.

The M11x is a ripoff for what you could potentially buy with $800. You are really paying for the brand.

Make sure you get AMD, because they're cheaper and chances are intel has intergrated graphics, which isn't good for gaming.

It's for gaming, and a $550 price cap, why the **** would you get a MAC (not apple, thats the ****ing company)

I don't know much about laptops, but the Core i3 is the clear winner. However, Intel's integrated GPU might mean you have to stick with older stuff. Should do well for GTA: San Andreas, Minecraft, and perhaps CoD 2.

I would buy a Windows 7 laptop form Microsoft because you'll get a free Xbox 360, I'm not sure which laptops qualify though.

Laptops suck for gaming but if you must choose get one with a i7 2630m processor DO NOT get an alienware they are made by dell which sucks
