I need help in buying a  laptop. I don't really play any PC games at all except for Pocket Tanks and Roller Coaster Tycoon. I am getting a laptop because I like them and I don't use Resource Heavy programs except for CS2, Illustrator, and N64/MAME emulation. So far I am choosing this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/COMPAQ-LAPTOP-CQ60-419WM-Free-MicroSDcard-Free-shipping_W0QQitemZ230361225038QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_comp_laptop?hash=item35a299574e&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A15|66%3A2|39%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50
Does it look like a good deal? Its 350 but Walm-art is releasing later for 298.
(My current computer is a terrible vaio. 3.0 Ghz. 1.5 RAM 6600 Gefore MX I think. Broken Audigy Sound Card. Just a mess)

Macbook or Macbook Pro.  Trust me...the 9400M is strong.  I played every Value game on max on a solid 60+ fps.

My friends swear by Mac's, and they look pretty damn cool. I know very little about them, but you can always boot camp it if you don't like the OS.
