Hey guys, I've posted a few threads asking for help or opinions on pc builds but now I'm looking into laptops.
I wanted a PC to play games such as DayZ Standalone and Skyrim along with a few realism mods. Rather than building one, because I kept getting out of budget ($500-700), I found this pre-build on Newegg that I feel is a great deal. Here it is: Desktop Pre-build
Anyway, I'll need a laptop for school at some point and since I'm mainly concerned with those two games, DayZ Standalone and Skyrim, I feel getting a laptop would be a better choice. Because the laptop would be partially for school, I can increase the budget because of willing parents. For the laptop, the budget stands anywhere from $500-1000. I've searched through the BestBuy website for good PCs but mostly I'm coming up with 2-core builds that I feel won't cut it.
These are a few that seem ok:
Dell XPS
Acer Aspire M5
HP Envy M6
A few opinions or suggestions as to what laptop I should look into and what not would be nice.
P.S. I'd be much more comfortable staying in the $500-700 range.
P.P.S. If someone can build an amazing desktop build with windows 7 or 8 OS and a wireless card (and hopefully with keyboard+mouse) for around the $500-700 price range, I'd be grateful.
