alright nerds, i need some help finding a decently priced laptop. Needs to have DVD burner, HDMI out, 750gb+ HDD. i havent read up on processors in quite a while so shoot me ideas. The main use for this is going to be surfing the web, occasional photo editing, and once in a while some real light gaming. the cheaper, the better. ---

Get a Alienware and sign up for the discount program, if your interested I might be willing to sell mine cheap. Just text me if you want. I have a link saved on my browser also with a ASus one that would meet your requirements also too. I’ll link it when I get on the computer. ---

Alienware lol, I don’t think that meets his cheap requirement. Have you looked on [techbargains.com](http://techbargains.com) or the dell outlet. That’s where I usually buy a system. ---

That’s where I usually buy a system. Screw Dell, garbage machines even there business class are garbage. Look at the Lenovo Outlet for Thinkpad T series or HP outlet for Envy Series lapops. ---

+1 on the Lenovo laptops…i have had 2 T series laptops and now on an X120e ultra portable w/single core processor…its not as fast as I like, I should have opted for the better processor but with around $80 in RAM upgrades it runs CAD software decently. The only downfall is no DVD drive at all so a step up to the E or T series would be the way to go ---

Lenovo FTW - Currently have T420s, love it. Great combo of power/portability, not the cheapest, but well worth it. ---

Do the Lenovo’s still look like they are from 1990? Aesthetically they were always atrocious. ---
