ok, im looking for an entry level to laptop to
play poker, 4 tables, pt, pv, etc.
dl and watch movies/ music, burn dvds
do work
if its possible some gaming capability, how realistic is that if im in the 1500 under range? games like halo, gta- sa, 3d intensive games. how expensive does that get? i know the poker stuff is not system intensive but display and screen can be.
on one hand im willing to pay, i have the money from poker but i dont want to hit the part of diminishing returns and drop 600$ more on a comp that isnt that much better.
how does this toshiba (http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4008296) look?
1.8 ghz, 512 DDR ram, 15.4" LCD (how is this?), dvd multi, 128mb geforce go 5700 card
my budget is 1500 or less (thats what im looking for) but if it is more and really worth it ill go higher. my common sense tells me its more efficient to buy a 1200$ laptop, then another 1200$ laptop in 2 years than buy one pimped out 2K+ one now.
