Hey guys I plan on buying a laptop in the next week or so and I was wondering would be the best laptop for about $500. I can do up to $600 but that will really be pushing the budget. This laptop will be used primarily at home and at college. Doesn't have to be super good as I have my quad core desktop. So mostly typing papers and some light gaming. Mostly like Counter-Strike: Source and other source engine games.
Things most important to me:
-Graphics Chipset (the best I can get for cheap)
-Battery life
-Size (Smaller is better. Nothing over 15")
-Durability
-Price (obviously lower is better)
Right now I am really interested in getting a toshiba notebook as they seem pretty decent for the price and I like the keyboard and the way they look. Really interested in this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9163772&type=product&id=1218040476935 but its a little over my budget.
Would prefer to buy from a store (such as best buy, frys, office depot, staples, etc...)
So what do you guys think is the best deal for the price right now? Thanks
(oh and I am not interested in a netbook, I just sold my dell mini 9)
