Need some suggestions for a laptop

Post » Wed May 02, 2012 8:29 pm

I'm looking to buy a laptop for basic browsing and maybe some light gaming. When it comes to tv's I know what I'm doing but laptops I have no idea. What's a decent make in the range of 500-700 bucks that would let my wife and I browse the web, down load some fam pics, and maybe some RTS gaming like when Generals 2 finally hits the stands......any suggestions?

Thanks

Something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215261 will work. There aren't any released specs on Generals 2, but I'm sure the processor and memory will do fine. The video card should, I just don't think you'll be playing max settings or anything. Then again, it still has another year to go. The card got playable 30+fps on medium benchmarks, though, for Skyrim. It'd be more than enough for browsing and good for media too.

Hey thanks for the help. Now I just got to search some stores in my area for Acer .
