If I want to get a fast, reliable, strong laptop, that I can use for gaming and work what would you recommend?
I am and at senior school so I want a laptop the will be good for schoolwork, but It needs to have enought memory ram etc. so that it does not clog up and slow down once I store my music, videos, games etc. on it the problem is that my parents have given me a small price range no more than , which, when I need all these features may not be enough. it doesnt have to be strong but, knowing me, I will probably drop it or spill something on it and something like the quottoughbookquot from rock would be ideal if it wasnt so pricey. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS???!!!???
