There was a 9-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery (over-sized) - Up to 9.5 hours of battery life available for $21 more, but the thing looked too big. The pic made the laptop tilt by at least an inch. Anyway, it's mostly staying in the living room. So if I have a wire on it, it's fine by me. I have no intention of taking it to work or travels... |

I am a big proponent of the desktop experience... but this is entirely untrue. I competed in Cal on counterstrike while using a Laptop. Obviously I used a separate mouse and not a touch pad, but the point is the computer held up very well. This was a decade ago. Now the gap in performance is much smaller.

you can play on it ofc.. I don't know.. the experience isn't as pleasant I bought an Alienware laptop, and it was awesome and handled the games very well.. a quick upgrade to my Desktop though and I outperformed the laptop 6months down the line, that laptop couldn't handle new games at max graphics... can't upgrade it.. had to replace it :/

I don't there are any sub-$2,000 laptops right now can run any decent FPS game of the last 2 years at max graphics and still maintain > 30 fps. To the OP, if I had read this thread earlier, I would have tried to dissuade you from HP computers (laptops or desktop) -- marginal reliability. my experience is that Asus laptops are better all-around. |

I bought a 17" Macbook Pro this weekend. It's a beast - it's nearly as fast as my 2008 Mac Pro, at least except for games. I can't say enough good things about it, it's like having my Mac Pro with me on the road.

1) you wont sell ur desktop for more than 200
2) why spend 800+ on a laptop if you only email and surf? 3) you should settle for a 300 - 450 laptop or an ipad
