Recommend me a Laptop for school and gaming? So it's that time of year (r.i.p. laptop after 6 years). I live in the States ( Cali) so I don't really need to travel anywhere to buy a laptop- everything is convenient as is. I have about like $500-700 USD to spend on a laptop. I would prefer to order online instead of going to the stores to pick up the laptop because my work schedule and school schedule are too conflicting for me to be home often nowadays. The games I mostly want to play are just MS and League and I want it to be (performance wise) pretty good for other programs like school essentials (Microsoft Office, web browsing, etc). I know the graphic card has to be like Nivdea or AMD Radeon and over i5+ core for my processor? Over 1.9g

Elemental Battle Paladin or Thunder Breaker? Basically the topic is not related to who's stronger and better well funded, but conceptual wise.. Whose design and graphics are well displayed nowdays? I was wondering what you guys prefer between these two classes.My favourite element of all is thunder/lightning and these are the only two classes I saw who has these elements within. Also, I like to support parties so I guess i'm more of a support type of class. Who will you choose?

Spec help for new laptop? About that time! I am currently browsing for a new gaming laptop but do not know the specs detail nowadays. The one I'm using right now is a Sony Vaio (6 years old) so it's about that time to make the change. I found one deal so far but idk how ASUS fares off against other laptops? My desired budget is under (but not limited to) $500 USD. Also, it says that most of these new laptops come with Windows 8? What do i do if i don't want that and just want to use a regular desktop style like Windows 7?
