I currently just got a scholarship for $800.00 towards any
laptop that I want. The only thing is I really dont have a
whole lot of extra money to put into it. I did just get a
300GB external SeaGate harddrive. Does anyone have any
suggestions on to which laptop i should get for best bang
for buck at a decent price? This laptop is based for
college but I also would like to be able to play some
games on it as well. Thanks for the help

anyone?If you bought an external HD for no (known to us, anyway) reason
- not to mention the relatively high cost of such hardware - but
are worried $800 won't get you a laptop (there are quite a few
laptops for less than that, and not no-name crap either), then
maybe college is not such a good idea.

I didn't buy it for no reason... as you can tell i said i bought which
is just another factor i dont have to worry about in my laptop. I know
there are plenty of laptops under $800.00. But the way i worded the
question was more towards the lines of what can i get best bang for
buck type of deal.
