I have a budget between 800 $ and 900 $. Besides browsing the internet, watching movies and listening to music, I’m a light user of photoshop and microsoft office. I have a PS3 so gaming is no issue for me, but I also want to play RPG and STRATEGIC games on the new laptop like Mass Effect and Dragon Age Origin’s. I found this laptop so I need your opinion and advice :

Thank you for your help
it is nice for daily work or mail,but not so good for games
It actually seems like a great laptop. With 4 GB ram, the processor speed should also increase. And as far as i know the i3, i5, i7 processors are relatively new and good. However, I might suggest that i5 processor might be a little more powerful, but I know someone how has an i3 and is extremely happy. Plus the graphics look decent. This computer looks good. I might also suggest that if you can, try to get a lower price. I’m sure if you look hard enough you will be able to find one. Nevertheless a good deal.
This laptop is pretty great the processor is new so that will be great as well.. I also like the HD 720p (It will be mutch better if it was 1080p it is allright)
But the thing is the graphics card will e weak and you might face some problems with the graphics card while playing the games that you want to play… because they require a better graphics card….
this is a great machine for what you want to do with it. it is well specified and has a nice GB of ram. if it is in your budget grab it. i have owned 4 Toshiba satellite laptops and never had a problem with any of them.
