What kind of laptop should i get for gaming ?

Q. I would like a laptop for gaming thats under £400-450
For the game Gta and an online game called Metin2 + i want to use fraps to record the game so i would like a laptop that is not very laggy and fast on the internet ;) Any suggestions ?

A. you get what you pay for basically with computers. I also suggest not buying based on the design of computer. Its the fast hardware that you should be paying for not all the fancy keyboards and design.
good brands to look at are dell (http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15r-5521/pd?oc=fndou23b&model_id=inspiron-15r-5521&), sony (http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666519903), and lenovo (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/z-series/), they usally are the top competitors.
Don't get any laptop that dosent ave at least
1.8 Ghz
windows 8
intel core i5

What is a good laptop to buy so I can play all of my Sims 3 games on?

Q. I love Sims 3 and I have a lot of their games. And I've been needing a new laptop. Does anyone know of any good laptops under $400 that can hold a lot of computer games. Anything but HP laptops would be great, thanks.

A. Under $400 is a very tight budget. Integrated solutions will struggle with Sims 3 games, and there are not many laptops if any with discrete solutions. You might want to expand your budget about 100-150 dollars more and look at newegg.com or amazon.com for laptops.

What is the the difference between computer types?

Q. Hi everyone! I am about to buy a new desktop pc but are unsure about the different types. I would like one that could run most pc games well (i.e. sims 2 etc!) please could you specify types of computers that will do this (preferably under £400.00). And the graphics of different pc's.
Thanks!

A. Every PC is different.
For gaming... I would recommend an AMD processor.
If you get an Intel... STAY AWAY FROM CELERON. You will like the pricetag, but hate the performance.
At least 1GB of ram... (you need more, but you are trying to stay under 400)
Any decent Nvidia or Ati card will do you well. You need to spend more on this too, but it is a budget killer.

Then get as big as a hard drive as your budget will allow.

Q. What is the best gaming computer possible for under $400?
Excluding a hard drive and a dvd drive from total cost could everyone tell me what they would use to build a good computer for gaming
also i have a radeon 9200 graphics card

A. You graphics card is shit..It's too old for a decent gaming now.. This is the best I could do with it, it's $11 over your budget, but really!IT"S PRETTY DAM GOOD for $400 already, it's like double the performance of one of those $600 HP computers.

The power supply is not the best, but it'll work, ALSO, as you can see, I didn't include a OS, because I assume you already have an OS to use. You can also, double your video card ram if you spend another $20, I'd do it if I were you, it's REALLY worth it, especially if you play at high resolution.

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.
