Laptop Research

[AntKeyyy]

Hey guys, I've been in need of a new laptop/desktop since my old desktop broke. I've been looking through a lot of laptops but I am not sure which one is the best fit for me. I was wondering if you guys could help me with my decision.

I don't require much from a laptop, all I really want is it for to be a relatively cheap price, reliable, and can run computer games with ease. I want to be able to run Starcraft 2 on medium settings with no lag whatsoever and World of Warcraft on high settings. I've been focusing on refurbished laptops since they are cheaper and work the same. I'm not positive on the specs needed to fit what I want so I'm just going to post a couple of laptops I've been looking at and let you guys pick. Also, if you guys have any suggestions feel free to add them!

1. HP - Factory-Refurbished Laptop / Intel� Pentium� Processor / 17.3" Display / 4GB Memory / 320GB Hard Drive

I've been using a Sony Vaio laptop that has 2GB Memory with Intel Duo Core Processor and it runs Starcraft fine without any other programs open.

id go with the alienware ( i dont like hp) but the thing with laptops and sc2 is its ridiculously hard to update the gfx card and sc2 runs on high gfx, if you say your old laptop with a duo core was running it fine than so should the alienware, imo id just buy a desktop, only my opinion though

Heres a link to mine Click (http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/sony-vaio-vgn-nw270f/4505-3121_7-33776067.html)

Its the first laptop ive ever had and it does everything I need it to, but if your going to spend some real money id go with a mac or alienware

I asked a very trustworthy source what I should do about a new computer and I wanted basically the same thing as you and he said it would be a lot easier and cheaper to just build your own desktop. Now I went the cheap route instead of the expensive route and I could build a decent computer that I am sure will run SC2 rather easily for $439. Go to newegg.com and you can find reasonably priced computer parts.

The more processors the better idc what anyone says

The reason I don't want a desktop is because I am going to college soon and would prefer to have something that I can carry around. I'm considering getting a netbook and a desktop though, or building desktop, I don't know how but I could learn. Still prefer a laptop though.
