Gaming Laptop Help Please
Hi Folks - I have read through and it seems that if I really want to purchase a top of the line gaming laptop I need to spend $1500 ... HOWEVER - I do not have that amount to spend ... so if I was more in the $600-$700 budget what would you look for (key components) to make the gaming experience the best possible? What would you be willing to let slide? Thanks so much!!!!! ISO: Spaghetti'Os coupons ... or Spaghetti & Spaghetti Sauce coupons ...
Sarah: That's not fair! Jareth: You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is? I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions. -- Burroughs, |

As a rule, refurbished machines look nearly new. I've never bought one that had a big scratch in it, but maybe some folks have. |

Refurbs may have a bit of a worn battery but still within specs for a refurbished model. There may be some cosmetic issues with the shell that really do not affect the performance of the laptop at all. In a lot of cases, they are merely people who opened the box, realized this isn't what they wanted and got an RMA.
