hi, as the title says im looking for a new laptop in the $900-1100 range. I'm from Canada and would probably like to buy one from a canadian place.
Less expensive would be prefered but i want a computer that would last me a while because it took long enough to convince my parents to buy me a new one. My current laptop is horrible and im unable to finish the EOTN campaign because i can't load half of the areas. I'm looking for a laptop to run GW smoothly is all.

any suggestions?

My basic recommendation is that you stay away from Intel integrated graphics. This eliminates a lot of laptops with Core 2 processors because they tend to be paired with Intel chipsets. Also, for best gaming performance, get one with discrete video memory if possible.

Here's one that you may like:

i'd go with the second one. the first laptop still have integrated graphics, and a rather bad one at that.

Wow that is a lot of money for a lap top today. We just got two computers, a tower and a laptop from Dell.
The laptop is an the basic laptop green with a couple of mods. It has the better video card and the midsized hard drive and the Killer 4Gig. It is green and cost a puny 650 bucks.

Yes it gets to CoF and other places that my tower will not even go to unless I change the video card in it cause of direct x10

So you can get a MAssive Puter for that kind of doe. It is the 1525

I know its an english site but this is the laptop I have just bought, runs GW perfectly, pretty cheap (for a laptop) and I have only praise for acer support (I only asked them about buying one of their laptops, I haven't had any trouble with it).
