Okay , I'm gonna just sell my old laptop and repurchase a new one and upgrade the ram/HD itself. Help me find a laptop with the worse
ram and hd and great graphics and GHz and wider laptop screen about 16-18'' width. Probally that can upgrade to 4gb ram and 160+gb.Pretty much if I can find one , i'll upgrade it lol. I'm not sure if I'll go with the desktop because I might use this laptop in the future for college.

Fuckin hp links never work, Well I went to HP.com and went to laptops and tablet pcs, went to performance and entertainment and i got the dv6t series wich is about 700$ but i got it upgraded and it came out to around 1000$, I run World of warcraft on it, stream videos fine, I recomend a better graphics card then what they offer for the upgrade if you want to run a game like WoW

well if you arnt going gameing then you really dont need all the upgrades, but if you are into heavy online games like Crisis and Wow, then you need alot of upgrades those games are not kind to shitty GPU's my desktop i had for WoW got its GPU fried due to lack of ventilation and high ass temps, Thank you dell for stock crap.

Best I could find at 1000$.
If you are willing to settle for a smaller one, perhaps 15"6 I can find you a better one. Even though this one should handle pretty much most of your games as long as you're not playing on the highest settings.
Also, you may want to consider just getting a netbook for school and building a desktop for home.

Yah , i'm good with a 15''4-15''7. See if you can find one
Probally not a good idea to bring a 17'' laptop around , it'll attract thefts =p
