Dell Outlet has some nice finds at times. Got a quad core i7, 8gigs ram, not sure about the gfx... ran me $800 and its been running steady. Same comp from the regular side of Dell was like 1400.

This, people don't seem to understand how far things have come since they bought their super awesome Alienware in 2005 which is now about as good as an etch-a-sketch for gaming. I bought my son a laptop last night from BestBuy to play WoW and DAoC on. Spent $369.00 and it runs the game on maxed out graphics settings with such minimal lag it is barely even noticeable. It was quite funny watching a 10 year old whip up on you Molvik fiends last night. See this link for the exact one LAPTOP For CHEAP!!

You dont need to spend over 700 bucks on a gaming laptop. Its over kill and they are ripping you off. Heck even for a desktop you dont need that much to run wow/daoc

I am sure you have reasons for not liking HP or Dell. However unless you provide a research paper containing multiple examples in the thousands as to why their technology is inferior to Asus, I would advise no one to take this comment seriously.

I myself don't like Seagate hard drives. I tell people that I don't like Seagate products, however they should base their thoughts of the company through their experience. There is an age old battle over Seagate and Western Digital. You will see both excellent and negative reviews on both sides. Who's right? Is Wendy's really that different from McDonalds? BK? In my experience BK has shitty fries. Yet thousands of people love BK's fries.


All I'm trying to say is don't make it out to be like HP and Dell have worthless technology, as it is not the case.

A more appropriate response would have been:

-----
HP and Dell are really good for home or office use. Asus on the other hand likes to specialize in producing machines that can game well. Samsung also has a good range of products for your problem.

I don't know maybe I'm being a dick, but I hate when people tell other people false information based on the little experience they have had.

My Dell dual logs just fine for farming with an AMD II 2.3 Ghz dual core, 4 gigs ram, and ATI Mobility Radeon 4250 graphics.
