New Computer

I'm looking to buy a gaming laptop so I can play other games and not lag. I want a computer for gaming and school. I'm willing to spend $800 or less (Maybe I can push for $1000). Any ideas what I can do?


P.S In Canada, and I would rather buy in store and not online.

gaming laptop.. under 800.. kinda hard.. what are your reqs for screen size and processor and videocard? I think all of the decent gaming laptops are at least around 1200.. if not.. about 1500

what specific games are u looking to play ?

Like I said, I need it for school too that's why I'm choosing a laptop.

ik. this is the same for me.. but with 800, u cant get an amazing laptop.. u gotta tell us ur bottom lines for videocard/screen size/processor..

Uhm, that is a joke or your really didn't know what you are doing. The 555M will most likely never use more than 1GB ram. It is too slow to fill it. As far as I know the 3GB versions use the slow DDR3 ram, not GDDR5. So most 1GB versions would be faster. The 555M isn't the fastest GPU anyway.

Any desktop pc for 400€ would be better suited.
Edit: Did some research - ~350€.
