Well that's still better then what I am getting into...... well, my laptop is around One Thousand with 2 year warranty. So yeah, I kinda got out cheap because I new the guy who was "selling" me it. He gave me a 30% discount. Laptop has Wireless and ethernet connections; gig half ram; 500 gig hard drive; Vid card equivalent of a Geforce 7000 Series... (not quite sure exactly what one, but I believe it was a 7200) and it still lags on me PS: Mine is for gaming and such.
De80: I would recommend a cheap laptop because they are great for bots.... but if your running (or going to) a STW script, then I suggest you spend at least 600 to 700 (Uh thats the last time I priced them, which was in MI) on a decent one.
