    Gaming laptop
    I want to get that I can casually game on and use for college. I don't want to spend over $750. I play wow.

    Does wow really warrant the need for a "gaming" laptop?

    I got my desktop and Samsung monitor off newegg.com great place and I got a quad core with I think 1gig gfx hdmi out and the 1080 tv for 750 shipped :) laptops are not something I think I'll ever use for gaming ever again ;) they are almost all un-upgradable and even if they are it's near impossible or expensive to upgrade. Best of luck though!

    I will just farm and quest on my laptop at school after I get my homework done.

    I game exclusively off a laptop. Depending on what you're upgrading, it's not that big of a hassle. I get the back cover off and right there is the ram and harddrives, the two most commonly upgraded things. Do a bit more pulling off and you can get to the processor.

    Recently tossed in a second 500 GB harddrive. Cost me right at $80. With it having 6 gigs, I don't have much reason to upgrade the RAM.

    But when I want a new video card which is crucial when it comes to games it's just a card slot. Remove and replace. Alot of the mainstream laptops have integrated graphics cards :) just something to consider. But yeah as a secondary gaming platform laptop all the way!!!

    I've had this laptop for three and a half years. It still plays the newest games on high with no less than 50 fps, usually closer to 60. My prior gaming machine was a desk top and played the newest games just fine for five years up until I started having issues with the motherboard due to a power surge.
