[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 98177, member: 1161"] I'm not a laptop expert by any means. We just got a Dell about a month ago for our difficult child. He uses it right now primarily for gaming (World of Warcraft)and IM, with some schoolwork on the side LOL. We also got it to get him off of our computer. Laptops are fine for gaming, if you put the extra money into it for a better processor, more ram and graphics/sound cards. The ones you listed wouldn't really be good for games. Both, however, would be fine for internet and school/business work. I sent the specs for the one I was considering to a friend of mine who is an IBM analyst and got his nod of approval LOL. Right now, difficult child's laptop is a more powerful/faster computer than our 3 year old desktop. He's loving it. I too got him a wireless mouse as the touchpad mouse, well they :censored: LOL. I do think you will probably also have to get a wireless router so that the laptops will connect to your internet at home. I don't know much about them either, but the Netgear router I got with difficult child's laptop set up very easily, set by step instruction wizard was good. [/QUOTE]
