    help me pick out a laptop for my friend

    she has 4 grand to blow on a laptop (tho she'd rather spend only 2 grand if she can get away with it) and since i don't know so much about them i thought i'd see what you guys have to say, what is the best laptop for 2-4 grand? keep in mind she'll be using it mostly for video games and the net. thanks

      Yeah, don't bother with games on a laptop. Have her sink most of the money into a PC then buy one of these:

      That's exactly what I did a few months ago.

          the reason for the laptop is that she has no place to keep a PC i guess.
