Yeah that's true.

 

But thing is he is always out tutoring people and teaching and stuff so he needs a laptop also to carry his work around.

 

Ok I see, has he ordered one yet? Or is it still up for suggestions?

if you want a gaming computer u want a desktop really. good laptops for gaming we'll say about 900 dollars for a higher end laptop. for that price you could get a desktop with an i3 or i5 processor, a gig of video, and no less than 4-6 gigs of ram. but for a laptop depending on wat games he's playing i would prolly say find one with a 512mb vido card and a dual or even quad processor and ram is no biggy u can always upgrade the ram to whatever you want. usually u wont get more than 4 in a laptop. but it depends.

I went with a dell studio 17.

Came to like 1.6k CAD or so, a little less I think.

I forget the exact specs, I think 1.66 Ghz quad core something or other (Up to 2.8 Turbo mode).

Radeon 4650 (Best offered :\, so if you want a RAPE graphics card might have to go with something else, but this definitely gets the job done for everything I use it for).

4GB ram I think.

 

I love it, because it works PERFECTLY for everything I use it for. It's battery life is good (on balanced-aka no power saver, it lasts for about 2 hours, which is pretty good for a 17 inch laptop), and it juts performs very well for what I use it for. Plus I like the facial recognition (I just sit in front of it and it sees my face and auto-logs me in.

Although facial recognition isn't that good. I'd have rather had the fingerprinting from HP, but HP doesn't ship online with custom-made laptops, and dell does so.. dell it is. (FR doesn't recognize my face if the lighting is different, or if the angle is off, so sometimes I just punch in my password anyways to speed it up.)

 

But yeah, I would recommend the laptop I have, but it depends what you want, and in the states you might be able to get a better HP, or something else, but it didn't ship here so.... (As for like lenovo on Newegg, I figured the cost to get it shipped up to Canada would run the price to about the same thing this is, and still end up with worse specs).. But yeah, that's me up here in Canada, things could be different in the states but.. You definitely have some good suggestions.

 

OH, and sidenote, this laptop only has 2 usb ports. Which is exactly all I need, but I can definitely understand why someone might want more, in which case... This one could fail.
