Good buy?

[Husky01]

Needed a laptop for school, and this is right around the top of my budget. Wanted to be able to do some gaming on it if I was to ever go out of town etc etc

So good buy? Say buy it?

The 5145 is not a bad VC, kinda middle of the road.  Should be fine for on the road mind numbing, time wasting games. 800 bucks is a cut throat market anymore, hard to pick a good, better, best in this price range.  Overall, not a bad lookin laptop though.

Just a heads up, when I got my Asus they told me its Win 7 compatable, then when I got Win 7 it messed up my power options and so forth.  So make sure double check.  I love my laptop, its very good, and got a great deal on it.  But I have had quite a few problems.

Good laptop but I still don't like touching games on them. Should run decently however,.

Thanks for the replys, think this is worth the extra fifty bucks?

Better VC but older processor and smaller HD.  Tough call.


Although still 4 cores, do you want to lose the .4 Ghz off the processor in exchange for the slightly better VC. And pay more for it?


I like the i5

Only down side is the hard drive, however you can replace it with a 7200 if you wish.
