I'm thinking of replacing the laptop I have which i rather not since i haven't had it a year. The screen feels flimsy, it won't acknowledge when my headset, won't acknowledge my iPod unless I restart it. It won't do anything with the screen saver!. Correction: it doesn't show the screen saver the only time I have seen the screen saver was when I GENTLY bump the mouse after being away for a bit and it will either then sow or flash briefly to it before going to the home screen.
A friend's husband recommended getting an Apple since he knows Macs and they tend to be more reliable (in his opinion).
But I have been looking at a gaming laptop. An Asus.
My last laptop was a Toshiba Satellite so I tried another. It was one of those 'build your own'. So I added a Blu-Ray Drive and I think I asked for more RAM.
Read reviews and ask fellow gamers and see what they prefer.
