This one cuts in the middle of these two in terms of price. Core Duo proc has great speed and efficiency. NOTE: Little to no gaming on this laptops. As long as you are ok with that, I'd grab this one.

How ya doing, buddy?

Gaming on integrated graphics is not recommended. That being said, Intel GMA 950 chipset can run games like WoW with low settings decently enough to enjoy the game.

I do concur, MacBook is what I would buy, because you get Windows too via BootCamp. Also, the build on the MBooks are great.

Buy the Acer.

I have never seen an HP laptop that didnt need major servicing over its lifespan. I can think of someone I work with who just got their HP laptop back from servicing (through best buy, not HP). I just don't think they have good quality standards.

The Acer is a 2.2Ghz processor (looked it up) and the GeForce6100 means you could at least try GuildWars with some success. The HP you couldn't really hope to play GW.

Buy the Acer.

I hope I made my opinion clear !

Are these kind of notebooks from this site reliable?
9 times out of 10 its how well you treat your notebook. If you know you're gonna be runnin all over with it and putting it through hell, then just make sure to buy an extended warrenty (if they offer one). But make sure you dont buy a rip off warrenty.

Mac.

Actually, the only company worth considering from that list is Toshiba
I'm thirding this as the recommendation.

Just wanted to point out that if you live near Apple stores, then MacBooks are an even BETTER buy.

Yesterday, one of the power adapters for a work MacBook was shorting out, as well as a DVI->VGA dongle adapter. I went to a Minneapolis Apple store, the Genius checked it out, and replaced both at NO cost. I walked in and out of the store with no hassles.

Not saying that happens with every circumstance, but when buying a MacBook, you know you can get good service and quick service at stores, even if you bought online. You can't say that for Dell, or other online order laptops. And we all know that BestBuy and other retail outlets out source, ship in, or ship out all there replacement part, repair work etc. It's nice to be able to go somewhere and potentially get the problem solved on the spot.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
