Need help finding a laptop

**daviselk** · 02-15-2009, 08:53 AM

So, like the title says i need help finding a laptop suitable for what i want it for. I am in the marines and am in afghanistan and dont have much time to be online, and the lines are so slow that i dont really have access so surf around looking for what i want. So if anyone knows of some good deal or anything the help would be appreciated.

I am looking for a gaming laptop that i will be able to play WoW, music, get on FB and surf around the net at the same time with no probs. I have not had a new comp in years, and the last one i had was a desktop i built.

Things i am looking for in it are;

-be able to have it for years and still be able to play new high-demand games
-around 1500$, give or take a few hundred

when i get back to the states it is going to but hooked up to my 24" westinghouse monitor, and am going to use a diff. mouse ad keyboard so the screen, mouse, and keyboard are not big things i will be loooking for. Also i am going order an external HD and keep everything on it, so the HD does not have to be very big.

Usually i would enojy looking around for this kinda stuff, but i dont really have the time here, and i want to have it before i get home... possibly have it sent to my FPO here along with a few games to keep me busey. So if anybody has some suggestions or know of good online deals, please help me out.

I just bought this: LINK

It's great. There are only a couple left.

It's refurbished, but you wouldn't know it if someone didn't tell you.

Get this. It's a fantastic piece of machinery. Can't find the specs it has on anything within 500 bucks or so. Bought one the other day and love it. It's my third Gateway laptop (sold the other two) and have never had a problem with them.
