I'm thinking my computer definitely wouldn't be able to handle that game. =P

[MsRowdyRedhead]

You need multiple cores.. that was my issue

[Mahri828]

 I'm probably gonna get a laptop over spring break for college.... There's an ASUS one for a little over $400 that I was checking out, it's pretty nice.

link?

[MsRowdyRedhead]

So, my comp, which was originally purchased from Dell outlet(and at time of order was on shelf in stock)  was actually built for me today... early this am I got a delay notice, with status update link. Earlier today it was in manufacturing.. now has shipped.

Some of the terminology is different from my order confirmation, so I am not 100% sure everything is the same... 

What is included with this order?

[MsRowdyRedhead]

My new comp is here, but not yet hooked up

[lionytai]

Got my report card!

[Mahri828]

This is the laptop I want;

HP Pavilion dv7-4267cl

 Unfortunately, it's out of stock.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Does the site restock things often?

You better be getting that for dirt cheap because that's a pathetic processor. First Gen i3s have higher benchmarks.

[Mahri828]

 $450 isn't bad. It'll run everything it needs to easily, and hp is a decent brand. There were some ASUS ones that I wanted, but they were a lot more, so the Pavillion won over.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

Where are you looking?? What site/ store??

[mtmerrick]

Dude you can do SO much better for $450
