hello everyone! i'm looking for a new laptop, currently i'm a bit of a casual gamer, i enjoy playing guild wars, lol sometimes, aion, but i'm always downloading new games to try out. i use adobe photoshop and usually have a lot of applications going on. i love the sleek look of the mac, but my price range is 1200, (willing to go up to 1500 w/ taxes and shipping) and i feel like i can just be getting a lot more when i look at my other options. other than that i'm open to just about all suggestions, and feel free to suggest bulkier options if it seems more worth it.

Thank you! (:

I might not spend that much on a computer let alone a laptop. What I might recommend is building a desktop because you'll get way more value out of a $800 desktop than a $1200 laptop and then if you need a laptop for trips or something buying a cheaper one for basic tasks like word processing and browsing the internet.

thanks for the suggestion, but i just feel as if i'm not capable enough to assemble it myself, and i have no idea where to start with actually picking out the hardware, i don't know if a motherboard is good or not, whether or not a graphics card is good, and i know that when i travel, it's for long periods of time

there are plenty of posts already that have some very good info about laptops as so many ask the same questions about lappys.

but if you're looking for a really good laptop for 1200 or so then to me, there is only one place to go, and thats http://www.cyberpowerpc.com
