Aspari Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834216539 The link is safe. Also, I am unable to get a desktop so don't even suggest it. I don't have any room at my place to put a desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgax Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The vga is good the cpu is ok but nothing groundbreaking, for this price range i say it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurmageddon Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) I use a gaming laptop, and I love mine, but I would very much reccomend you try to get to a shop and actually HOLD the thing. It may sound silly but you want it to have some physical durability and not to be too flimsy ESPECIALLY at the base with the fans.... Your general cooling system will be probably more important than anything and no amount of cool hardware will be worth it if the thing is unable to survive running it at full tilt. This goes for all computers but laptops especially Edited October 8, 2013 by Santaphrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes for all computers but laptops especially What this man says. Toshiba is notorious for its low- and middle-end notebook's building quality. Also check its screen. Colors, viewing angles, and so on. You should like what you'll see on this screen. And one last thing. Even if you can't fit a desktop in your place, at least consider to get a monitor. Even 15,6" screen is eye-breaking to use permanently, especially because of miserable quality of most LCD panels installed in notebooks.

VER1 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 It will do the job. Would not expect all graphics on high. It's about as much as I would spend on a laptop which I intend to casually game on. With laptops, once they are getting old there is little which can be done about upgrading them to get some more life out of it But then again I prefer a gaming desktop for gaming.

zeroythe Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Unless you need the laptop ASAP, I would hold off a little. Black Friday and Holiday deals are just around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes for all computers but laptops especially This. The right hinge on my Toshiba's lid has come apart. I have to call them so they can fix it. It's not broken, but I couldn't agree more. It was my fault for buying it online, but whatever. Seriously, I would advise you to buy it at a nearby retailer. I don't say that lightly, either. I have a Toshiba Satellite S875-S7140. From what I can tell, my computer is a step up from that one. http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Satellite-S875-S7140-17-3-Inch-Aluminum/dp/B00AY1FCZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381252503&sr=8-1&keywords=Toshiba+Satellite+s875-s7140 Just scroll down to the product information. If you're set on a Toshiba, I'd recommend getting a Toshiba Qosmio, as they're built for gaaming. They're more expensive (about $1,000) but it might be worth it if you're a hardcore nonstop gamer. My laptop was $829.99 when I bought it. Edited October 8, 2013 by zachles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alteria Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 That's a pretty good laptop for $599.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll do this. I might find that same laptop for 400 bucks or less on Black Friday/ Cyber Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
