Any recommendations for a durable laptop to use with elementary age students?

Q. Looking for a cheap (under $400) laptop to use with tutoring elementary age students. Will be used for internet as well as educational computer games. Needs to be durable and portable, as it will be traveling to different locations to work with students. Any suggestions on where to buy it and what brand to buy?

A. Look into Lenovo Thinkpads. They're ugly, but pretty dang durable.

If you're looking cheap, perhaps you should look into netbooks... they seem to do what you need them to do, but video games might be a strain.


I want to build a budget gaming computer to run world of warcraft cataclysm?
Q. I do not know how to find compatible components to build a computer and I was hoping it could be under $400 to run World of Warcraft Cataclysm. Can you guys link me parts of everything I need and possibly from Newegg?

A. Easily. Contrary to what most people say you don't need a super computer to run games. Stick with AMD Processors, Get a name brand (MSI, Gigabyte, AsRock) motherboard, and try to go for dated, but not obsolete hardware. Pretty much anything with a PCIE16 slot (that's where your graphics card goes) and at least two gig of ram in dual channel mode can run MOST games acceptably. Just research what other people have to say about hardware, and don't splurge on any one component, IE an economy processor and mother board with a cutting edge graphics card is just about as useless as an awesome 6 core system with onboard graphics, you just spent more for one.

Oh, and seriously don't expect anyone who has a bunch of bright blue LED's all over the inside of his rig with computer that looks like a spaceship to actually know how to build a computer.

I'm running WoW rather smoothly on an HP Pavilion that I found in the trash and threw a dual core processor and an ATI 5750 in. Total investment 168 dollars.
