Subject description: I'm a nub when it comes to pcs...
 

I'm a nubby when it comes to building or knowing about specs for that matter on how to build a laptop computer. I'd say my budget for now is about $550. For that much I doubt I can even mustard up a good basic laptop.

Well lets say I do intend to play some games on it but mostly for downloading software, net and etc. I may have to just buy cheap off eBay for the time being until I can save up more. What laptop brands are considered a good investment? Or should I buy a full-fledge gaming laptop? Any help or info. is much appreciated, thanks!

i bought one for about $400 w/ tax/shipping 6months ago; use it as a quarantine, carries my resume/portfolio and the thing is light and small.. etc... also dual-run Diablo self rush other games, etc very handy

doesnt have a CD/DvD player so u need to use something like Alcohol sometimes. or an external.

make sure when u check the OS, u prob dont want the nerdcore LINUX versions, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115508R which has a tiny 16gb solid state memory

u want one of the types with XP and 100+GB HD

Thanks for all the help. Good reference for me. I just bought a TOSHIBA SATELLITE A215-S6804-B AMD TURION 64 X2 TL-60 laptop for an ok deal, $340 off eBay. So I should be good to go.

Though its not an overly powerful machine, It should suffice. Thanks again guys!
