So last night my cousin thought it would be funny to throw a ball at my laptop. It disconnected the screen input. I've got it fixed for the moment, but the incident made it very clear this laptop isn't gonna work much longer. The PSU is fucked, the screen input cable is loose, the hard drive is nearly full, and the cooling fans are barely working.
So I'm gonna have to start looking into getting a new one. The only problem is, my "budget" is somewhat limited due to my just getting a new smartphone. I'm going to need something around $700 - $1000 (American Currency) With a hard drive that has better capacity than my current one, (500 GB would be perfect)
more than 2 Gigabytes of RAM (if possible), a decent graphics card/processor, and a rather large screen, preferably HD.
I would really appreciate any suggestions you guys have.
yeah i realized that and updated it
Woah, that asus looks perfect. Thanks.
The U36SD-A1 from the first link.
My advice would be get a 50$ thinkpad, and spend the rest of a desktop, but I think G has more of what you're after
It seems like your annoyed because I'm not getting an alienware. Get one yourself if your such a fanboy of Dell. If not, I saw something at HHGregg for $1000: The HP Pavilion Dv7. If not, do what sieve said and get a desktop, except you travel too much for a simple taco like you (heh heh). If so, blootooby and I will be more than happy to help you assemble your computer (if billy isn't to lazy, stop coding for about an hour, and use some effort to come down and help you). If, HP isn't what your looking for, go with something like Lenovo. the trackpad might not be the best, but I'm pretty sure it's good performance.
Sorry for such a long post

I got my laptop to start again.
The problem with building a desktop is it requires several days, maybe weeks, to do and several trips to an electronics store. And honestly I want a laptop.
I don't have the funds for an alienware.

Asus or the HP Pavilion I was talking about. Both good specs. I'm pretty sure with the HP, you get no lag in Battlefield 3, so transfer that to minecraft and you're good to go!

I'd still go with ASUS on this one.
HP has always been the wannabe IBM when it comes to computers.

hell, i have the dv6, and the dv7 as far as i can tell is the same goddamn thing with a different case and "better" beats audio, which the beats audio alone probably adds $100 to the laptop price.

Dude I'ma be honest that audio is really REALLY good. I've used a laptop that was marketed by Dr. Dre (the company, ofc), and the soundcard was soooo goood.
I don't know which model it is, but there is an ASUS laptop that is made do have a great sound system. My friend has got it and, dude, the speakers on that thing... Just sooooo good. It's got an amazing sound card, man. Listening to 5.1 movies with that thing, jeeeeesus.
