hey guys, i need your help.

i got about 50,000 pesos to spend(philippines) which is more or less about 1200 USD.

and ive decided to get a laptop. i wanna get a laptop mainly for gaming, and im not exactly what youd call tech savy. so can anyone give suggestions? please :D

my budget is 1200USD(50,000) pesos or less.

games id like to play: at least battlefield on minimal settings.
doom 3
etc....

if not.. warcraft and counterstrike and such would be okay.

so can anyone give me suggestions on what laptop model i should get(and the brand)

If you want a decent gaming laptop at around $1,200, then I'll prolly go with a Hewlett Packard dv6567cl Notebook.

I got mine for $1,149.63 on tax free day, but would most likely end up a little over $1,200. The first laptop VampDude posted looks like a better deal though.

I don't think that's a better deal. At that price on the site, it comes by default with the lowest specs. If you customize it to something similar to the HP dv6567cl notebook (the processor is at 1.66GHz while the HP laptop is at 1.80GHz, upgrade to 2GB DDR2 RAM, upgrade to a 200GB HD, upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium, and upgrade to a Dual Layer CD-RW/DVD-RW Burner w/LightScribe Technology), you'll end up at $1,574.00, over $400 more. I'm not necessarily saying the HP notebook is the best, since there could be better deals out there, but that AlienWare notebook isn't a better deal in my opinion.

yeah u can get more bang for ur buck elsewhere but if you want top of the line graphics alienware is usually the best

i know i can get more. but im more of a graphics junkie. lols. and i think ima go with alienware or the HP. im not sure yet... *CONFUSED*
