I'm looking for a $350 dollar or under laptop for doing development in Gmod, that's basically it. I want to be able to at least test lua in windowed mode in some fashion as well as something that can play flash at a decent speed. Oh yeah, and under $350 if possible. A netbook is fine, but I'm hoping to find something a bit better.
Here are a few options I'm considering, that I'd like your opinions on:

[I]Yes, I posted this in FT originally, but I decided that it'd be better here so I snipped that one.[/I]
A netbook is NOT what you're looking for; the cpu would seize up after a couple of spawned items, also running at 800x600 on all low. Graphics card would barely handle it, if at all, on top of that.
At this price range, the best you could get is an hd3200/300 or 4200. the 4200 and 3200 perform the same btw, i think it's almost the exact same chip. Go for this if you can stretch your budget $20 ([url]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Acer+-+Aspire+Laptop+with+AMD+Athlon%26%23153;+Single-Core+Processor/9555769.p?id=1218127632130&skuId=9555769[/url])
the difference between that and the second laptop on your list is the best buy one has 3gb of ram instead of 2.
Link died, can you re-find it?
I understand that a netbook wouldn't do the Gmod part, but I figured that I'd mention it none the less.
You most likely will not get a good gmod laptop for under 350 dollars.
Save up more.
Not saying a "good gmod laptop". The idea would be gm_construct windowed on low settings so I can test lua.
ahh sorry. third one down, acer [url]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstemplatemapper.jsp?id=pcat17080&type=page&qp=crootcategoryid%23%23-1%23%23-1~~q70726f63657373696e6774696d653a3e313930302d30312d3031~~cabcat0500000%23%230%23%2311a~~cabcat0502000%23%230%23%23o~~nf518||4c657373207468616e2024363030&list=y&nrp=15&sc=abComputerSP&sp=%2Bcurrentprice+skuid&usc=abcat0500000[/url]
Ah, looks very promising, it's Acer too. Anyone else have feedback? Direct link: [url]http://bit.ly/43WknZ[/url]
