[bormann]

ok i want the best gaming laptop, that is under 500 $

now that i think of it the best comp under 500 $ proly gonna be worst than the one i typen on right now lol

Well under $500 your not going to get much out of a laptop, maybe with a desktop there will be more usability but under $500 u cant do much gaming. A decent videocard is at least $250-$300

[torque154]

you arn't going to get anything for 500 USD for gamming. there is no way.

this is the closest your going to get.

you can get a good computer under 500 USD.  if  you build it yourself.  a graphics card is decent thats 100 USD. Mine can play any game out there with 1280x1024.  I only paid 90 USD for it. anyway, you can build one for 300 USD (dual core) and get a 200 USD graphics cards.

1280 x 1024 is a low res though, most mid gpu's are expected to just play 1680 x 1050

for 500 dollars you're not going to get much out of it especially if you want a laptop...If you want a good gaming laptop save up at least 1500 and get an alienware..If you want a good gaming desktop though you save up like 200 more and build your own, i could help you build it if you want.

well i would like to build one but i am only 12 and dont recieve an allounce
but my uncle did give me this old junk work desktop and i bought some stuff and it works now. so i gess i have some experiance.
my other uncle is a army computer guy and he built a supe comp once, but he is always in bagdad.
i do have a laptop somewere in a closet i could rebuild and make it better if i wanted too.

[MattZani]

you cant really rebuild and make a laptop better.

Also, for $500 i wouldnt call it Gaming, Multimedia at most, more likely workstation.

[bormann]

so then i would have to start from scratch and build one up?
idk that would be alot of parts needed

[MattZani]

dude, did you not mean from scratch?

[torque154]

my monitor can't support anything higher.  my card can go much higher but I'd need a bigger monitor. my graphics card can easily support 1680x1050 no problem but I would need like a 22 or a 24 inch monitor

[MattZani]

yeah, i was just stating, some people still think 1440 x 900 is the top res!

[bormann]

dude, did you not mean from scratch?

i said scratch didnt i?

[torque154]

yeah, i was just stating, some people still think 1440 x 900 is the top res!

Oh, ok didn't know thats what you meant.

[buffaloclone]

a couple days ago and spent $500, it was only the cpu, case and motherboard. oh and a big ass cpu fan

[phenomenal]

If you do get a laptop that you want to mod to make better, pretty much the only mod you can really do is changing the ram, from like 512mb to 2gb

[lewson]

Annd hardrive, cd drive, screen maybe, Wireless card (get a better one with bluetooth or wireless "n")

[MattZani]

Hard Drive wouldnt make it better as such, cant change the built in DVD Drive, Or the Screen, you can get an expansion WiFi Card, but thats like plugging in a USB Stick.

How much does a decent alienware go for. I want to game the new games but dont need to have the highest settings and stuff. please keep it under 1500$ would like to keep it under 1000$ if there is another type that could work as good.
