Need help with messed up internet?

Need help buying alaptop and other stuff...?

• Well, i've been thinking of buying a laptop for a really long time now just for my entertainment and I couldn't decide on which laptop is good, I own a Vista PC at the moment, so that's why I'm getting into buying a laptop.. (I also own another XP, but it's at my dads workplace). It'll be for gaming (60%) and for homework/chatting/surfing the internet (40%). I've decided on a laptob already which is: Acer Aspire 17.3" Laptop featuring Intel Core i5-430M (AS7741G) Link For Specs: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/acer%E2%80%A6 If that isn't a good laptop for gaming and the stuff I listed, then can you please suggest a good laptop which I could buy IN BEST BUY, CANADIAN TIRE, WALMART, ZELLERS, THE SOURCE, FUTURE SHOP, etc. (I'm in canada, so a place which is popular there). Laptop: If you are going to suggest a laptop, there are a few things I would want you to look into when suggesting it: - Size = It has to be 17.3"+ (Since for the gaming, I won't take it around, just around my house). - Webcam = Yes - Mic = Yes - Brand = HP, Acer, Dell, Sony, anything that would be a good brand which has great laptops for a mid price, I mean don't suggest a alienware, because i'm not spending $1000+ on a laptop. - Price = $400-$900 <-- Try it to be less then 900, because a $899.99 laptop would actually go into $1000 or $950. - GB = 4GB+ The Games I'll be playing on my laptop would be, Soldier Front, Ava, Sudden Attack, Operation 7, and GunZ. Now the other things I wanted to buy with the laptop would be... - A case - Headphones - Earphones - Mouse Case: Alright, so I will break my laptop if I don't buy a case, and i'll have to give my laptop to my dad sometimes if he needs to take it to his work place and work on it so i'll need a case for that. I went to best buy and future shop, I couldn't find a good case that was 17.3".. Again can you please find a case which is big (As you can see, i'll be putting A LOT of things in). :) Also, from the stores I listed. Headphones: I don't call myself a hardcore gamer, but I will be playing those games a lot, i'm new to Ava, Sudden attack, and operation 7 but I know a lot about GunZ and Soldier Front so you need to hear footsteps in Soldier front and I need good headphones for that, i'm not asking for gaming headphones or headsets, I mean it's your choice, just something that'll help me hear better. Earphones: When i'm not playing games, or playing a game like GunZ, I often listen to music so could you suggest some earphones, I mean i've had a few earphones before and they we're crappy and messed.. Mouse: Alright, to play games I obviously need a mouse so can you please suggest a good mouse.. Here are the things it should have: - Scroll - It could or doesn't have to have this, but a forward and back button. (Through internet pages). - HAS TO BE WIRELESS MOUSE - Good single - Works on a lot of surfaces - The USB (If uses) has to be REALLY SMALL.. (As I told you I break a lot of things, and if the USB sticks out too much, i'll sureley snap it off by accident. - Good feel the the hands - Fast mouse click - Right click and Left click - Can be any brand :) Alright, thanks just a few things to keep in mind: Cases - Should be around $20-$45 Headphones - $10-$30 Earphones - $5-$20 Mouse - $10-$45 Also, please try to pick these things from the same store, you don't have to but try to. Thanks! :)

• Answer:

  It isn't WHERE you buy it, so much as it's the brand AND specs. If you don't plan on moving it around, but screen size is important, you're probably better with a desktop unit. Laptops are limited, in size due to carrying, and in power due to battery issues. Your Acer will be decent for games. Not for super gaming, but that's for those with lots of money and the interest to personally soup up their computer with $500 GPUs and overclocking the processor, which can't be done with this computer. Like I said, quite decent. And it will be portable for those times you may need it. Plus it looks like you get a free accessories bundle for the price, but I'm not sure what that includes. Check into it.
