or none of the above

I want to do a little gaming (Rome:TW is the newest game I actually play), but this is mostly going to be to surf the interwebs, pirate dvds, and do microsoft office related activities.

why do you need a laptop at all?

can get 2-3x the desktop for that much money

I need one for school since half my classes next semester have tests done with computer packages, but the classrooms don't have computer labs.
