• Gaming netbook?
    5 replies, posted
OK, I don't know how to change the topic title, but what I really want is a fairly small computer that can play games well and is $800 or less. I've tried to figure out building small form factor computers before and I've had no luck. I'm completely new to this sort of thing; I don't want a really big computer because I have to switch houses every week and I already have too much stuff to lug back and forth. Any advice?
What games you want to play? Because if it's just Portal 2 or something you can find a decent laptop with that budget. Another thing to note is that I've heard that small form factor computers are a big no no as they are a pain to work with. That's just me though.
The laptop I'm currently on cost me 800 bucks last year.
