I have 1.5k to spend but I'd prefer if it was a little cheaper so I could have some money left on some other stuff, perhaps 1.2k?
What would you recommend for this budget? I'll either be getting it end of this summer or early next summer. Will the prices drop significantly if I decide to choose the latter?
The laptop would be used more for multi-tasking and such and not for hardcore gaming. I think most laptops these days can handle games like CS:S, BF2142, CoD2, etc. I hope that it would have enough power to spare for 1 or 2 new games in the sequel though.
Should I go with a custom built laptop from one of the online stores or go with a mainstream brand like Sony, HP, Dell, etc.
What kind of screen do most people go for these days? The usual 15.4" (or was it 14.5 >_>)?
