Well "Purchasing" is a lie, I'm really looking for what I want for christmas, but still. First time I'm GETTING a "marginally large" Christmas in the last 13 years of my life... *censored* I'm not even Catholic... But I digress --

I've been researching around... I *Definately* want a Laptop computer... If you've read the last thread I started, you will know why. =D

But I'm not sure who to go with, and even then, what model.

HP makes good computers, but their all overpriced.

Everyone has a dell, but they suck.

You see my dilemma...

So this isn't having you LOOK for a computer for me, I want to know if you have a good laptop PC that you GOT for marginally cheap (500> ), isn't a complete waste of money, has a decent GPU (I don't want to be playing Crysis, but I don't want to be playing Dungeon's and Dragons, EITHER), AND IS STILL ON THE MARKET. I know you might have a good computer made a couple years back still going strong, but it doesn't HELP if I CAN'T BUY IT. Lol.

OH! Please GIVE computer model and maker

and if your computer is a crapbox, you can still help =D

Thanks in advance
