Asus X83VB-X2
Dedicated graphics chip in a budget laptop ; 4GB of RAM

"Great computer for the price range. I really like it."
It's fast and so far dependable. I usually buy Dell but the reviews were pretty bad on a comparable model to this one. The reviews on Best Buy for this one were very good.
Fingerprints! Also how do you get the webcam to work.
"Fast but crashed!"
Very fast ; seemed initially great
Hard drive crashed after three weeks and I lost everything! Fingerprints can drive you crazy
"Mediocre budget gaming laptop"
If you have $150 extra, for $799 you can get ...
- It's cheap
- Graphics card is WEAK
