Windows 7: Suggest a Laptop

Hey Guys,
I want to buy a new laptop. I'll be using it for MBA. My desktop is not very fancy, no graphics card so can't play any of the latest games so I want a Laptop where I can play nice games, watch movies, listen to music so it also needs to have good battery life. Good storage capacity,memory,speed :P I want a good deal something that won't make a big hole in my pocket.
Please suggest something



Thanks,
Chinu

I often suggest that people work out what their budget is and then find a machine to match it.

Other considerations are things like the period of warranty, increasingly many of the big boys offer a two year warranty.

A laptop for gaming will automatically run over $1000. A good laptop that cannot run games (well) will be around $500. If you want cheap, you will have to give up gaming. Here are always cheap offerings of the day: Laptop Deals - Deals2buy.com

I am not looking for a gaming laptop but want something on which I can play once in a while. I want to play games like FIFA 10, GTA IV, Call of Duty......games which I cant play on my PC, not looking for a high end gaming laptop Guess my budget should be something around $500-600

Look thru the link I gave you. Here is one that has a video card (usually they are all on-board video in this price range) Newegg.com - lenovo IdeaPad Z570 (1024DMU) Notebook Intel Core i5 2450M(2.50GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD±R/RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M

Here is a good site that has lots of info about laptop and reviews. Notebookcheck.net. This site is based in Germany however, so some of the laptops mentioned are not available in some countries. The prices are also in Euros so you'll have to convert them.

Don't buy cheapest. if want to game pay extra don't get on board sound graphics. You won't be able play newest games if want a good alternative upgrade desktop and buy a tablet.then got portable of laptop and gaming. Better then trying get everything and ending up regretting it

Those aren't "lite" games, if you're not willing to shell out for non-Intel graphics card then those games will need to be run at low if not minimum settings. Imho you really don't want to buy one of those unless you are honestly willing to put up with half-assed performance.

Here's a place to shop and get informed on laptops.
