(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi guys,

So, Im going to be starting college soon and was wondering whats a good to buy? I'm going need it for school and a little bit of gaming. I don't want an apple laptop because they are too expensive. For the budget I'm look at something less than $800.

So if you have any suggestions leave a reply.
Thank you

how about you get a cheap gaming rig for say $500 and a laptop for $300 will be better for u

What Tokin said.

Even expensive laptops that eclipse your budget are tremendously sub-par for gaming.

Never buy a dell they do not last the hardrive in them messes up constantly and you have to take it to go get repaired each time it decides to hate you I would buy a toshiba definately they seem to be the best out there !

Please don't buy a Toshiba, they were the best in the 90s... its been all downhill since then and the only market they seem to still do well in is corporate. Also agree that Dell is something to stay away from.

For value for money, check out ASUS. I recently bought one and I'm very choosy when it comes to technology and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. MSI is another good brand worth looking into (Like Asus they are a motherboard, video card etc manufacturer).

i just recently bought a ROG G75VX gaming laptop at bestbuy $1200 investment. For you go for a Toshiba or Samsung with a i5 processor and 2gig vram graphics card. mine was i7 QM processor with 1tb hdd and 3gig vram. and i5 with 750gb hdd and 2gig vram should be around what you want to spend! hope I was helpful

These numbers aren't very helpful. For all you know you're getting a ten year old video card with 2-3GB of outdated VRAM.

get the toshiba satellite l850 pskg8a-05j001

I just bought one, it is a great cheap laptop runs very fast as well ^.^

thanks guys. Do you guys know whats a good laptop company? like Dell, Toshiba, Acer, etc

I dont normally comment in these kind of sections but I have an Asus N56VM, its an extremely good laptop. It can easily handle the latest games.

- Build Quality : VERY GOOD
- CPU : VERY GOOD (i7)
- GFX : GOOD (GT 630M 2GB / GT 635M 2GB)
- Screen : VERY GOOD
- RAM : 6GB / 8GB (VERY GOOD)
- Blu-Ray Drive
- Sound : VERY GOOD (Bang & Olufsen and comes with MAXX Audio, probably the best sounding laptop there is. Even comes with a mini-subwoofer to plug-in)
- Matte Screen (Anti-Glare)

A refurbished one is right on your price tag.

NOTE : There are variants of this laptop, some with better graphics, different screen resolutions, LED keyboards and RAM) If you have the money put an SSD in it, the speed increase and battery savings are amazing.

Acer is good, just not as good at build quality as Asus.
