Ok, right now I'm looking into a notebook that is 'gameable' for when I go on trips and stuff like that. I'm not really sure what brand to get. So I'm asking for your suggestions. One catch it has to be around $3000 Canadian or roughly $2700 american or less.

When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,

As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.

However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

I'm using an Acer right now, and they're far from good.

If you get a Laptop from CyberPower there is one thing you ABSOLUTELY must do. Request a LCD other than the one that normally comes with the MS-1039 laptops. They are pieces of shit, request a sony xbrite or something to replace it and if they give you a hard time tell them you don't care. It will be worth your time and money. I had to take my laptop to best buy to have them replace the POS LCD becuase it bothered me so much.

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind. The cyberpower site looks pretty promising.

I'm very happy about my Acer.

With 2700 $ you can get a very good machine, I think...

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Easily, I got my Fujitsu-Siemens with Pentium M740, 1024Mb or RAM and 6800 Go for 1900$ (1500€), and your prices are probably lower. You could get a very good system with 2700$

What I'm trying to do is save up money so I can get a Notebook that won't become obselite in a few years. I know my two desktops have become dated already.

That's your choice, but here's a warning: all systems become obsolete VERY fast. Even if you buy a high-end PC you'll end up upgrading it in a while, the whole business just moves so fast it's hard to keep yourself up-to-date....this is especially true with notebooks, since it's harder/impossible to upgrade old parts one at a time. All it takes is one innovative breakthrough in GPU/CPU/RAM industry, and you're left with old technology. I'm betting no matter how good laptop you buy, it's average at best in 2 years when it comes to gaming.

(which is basically an Asus laptop)
Gay paintjobs, scratch easily.

I suggest Velocity Micro, Alienware (yeah, I know) and (XPS ONLY) Dell and Acer (overagrand-models, if you know what I mean). Don't go for any of those boutique (Apple, Voodoo, Falcon) brands.

FUCK

Is the http://www.cyberpowerpc.com site down for everyone or just me?
