Thread: New laptop!!

    New laptop!!

    Hey guys so I was looking into buying a gaming laptop because I'll be traveling a lot due to my job; ofcourse I won't be able to carry my desktop with me. I've been leaning towards HP laptop because I get discounts with them but I've been told that gaming laptops are really not HP's strong point.

    So I looked around on Amazon for some Laptops and I found the following:

    http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V3...e+V3-772G-5413

    For this PC I'm really considering on buying it and the only complaint that I've read is that it is common to have a broken trackpad but to be honest I will be playing with a mouse because trackpads for WoW.... Eww. :P

    So, I would like your opinions and maybe even recommendations!

    Please do note in mind that I have a budget of 800 euros (around 1000 dollars)

    Thanks!!!

    You'll want to keep VAT in mind. Taxes aren't included in prices on amazon.com, as many US states don't have sales taxes. When you include VAT in prices, the Euro and US Dollar are just about at parity.

    A laptop almost identical (it has newer graphics) to the one you linked is 950 Euros on amazon.de

    What I'm saying is that one you've linked it also over your budget once you add in the VAT.
