What's up, Escapist? I'm about to go to college in 2 weeks and my parents have been bugging me about what kind of laptop to buy. I'm set on Windows, tried Macs, I wasn't quite feeling it. So, what kind of laptop satisfies the following? : Windows, less than 800 bucks, has Word and Excel and all that, can run Half Life 2 at low settings and manage 50 fps, has USB ports and a screen and all that. And doesn't suck. My family used to buy eMachines and I'd wonder why they'd break after 6 months. Oh, and if there's any sweet deals that package the computer with a printer, that'd be sweet to know. Thanks, y'all.
