The motherboard on my old Dell Inspiron finally gave out a while back so I'm in the market for a new laptop. Looking for something to do all the usual computing tasks as well as some light gaming. Don't want the screen to be smaller than 15", don't care too much about the battery life since I won't be carrying it around too much and don't want to spend much more than $500
So far the best bang for the buck seems to be the HP Pavillion g6z-2200. For $525 it has the following specs:
AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M Accelerated Processor (1.9GHz up to 2.8GHz)
1GB AMD Radeon HD 7670M Discrete-Class Graphics
15.6-inch diagonal HD BrightView LED-backlit Display (1366x768)
4GB DDR3 - 1 DIMM
500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
HP TrueVision HD Webcam with integrated digital microphone
802.11b/g/n WLAN
Seems to be a good buy. Anything else out there with comparable or better performance for the same sort of price that I should consider?
