Best laptop choice, value vs. performance?

for the games you want to play you can buy a basic laptop. i would recommend one of the laptops for 349 at best buy. people often buy for what they want rather then what they need and don't use what they buy. one advantage of having a less powerful machine is that it uses less energy which means the machine runs cooler. i have the toshiba L635 from best buy that is on sale for 349. I like the advantages it offers while giving me enough power to play civ 5. the processor uses about half the power that the average processor uses, and that keeps my laptop running cool.

HP Pavilion dv7-4280us is Great product for battery life, games, and music. Although the keyboard and touch pad takes a little getting used to, it's well worth the money.

its just depend on what you want ... depend on your choice ... you can have Gaming laptop ... you can laptop for entertainment like watching movies and listening songs . or can have simple laptop .... personal have a lot choice .. that's it

i hope its good answer for you ..
