Recommendations for a laptop

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 4:18 am

I am looking into getting a new laptop for myself and I need some help choosing. I would like to get something that can be decent for gaming, preferable it has to be able to at least play Skyrim at moderate graphics settings. I know that building a desktop would be the smarter way to go, but I will be going off to college soon, so I need a laptop.

I found this Hp dv6t for $650 and it looks decent enough, but I'm not entirely sure. I could also change out the i3 process for a 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5-2430M.
? Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
? 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i3-2350M Processor (2.3 GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)
? 1GB GDDR5 Radeon™ HD 6490M Graphics [HDMI, VGA]
? FREE UPGRADE to 6GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
? FREE UPGRADE to 640GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
? 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

My budget is $650, but I might consider spending more if I have to.
