What kind of laptop can I get?

Hey guys.. I want to get a nice laptop for my birthday with a budget of $500-$700...
Currently I have: http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02531028&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&prodSeriesId=4247529&prodTypeId=321957

What kind of laptop/specific laptop do you recommend I get?
I took a look myself and saw that this might be a good choice..

No problem! By the way, I don't think mine and the one you were looking at are entirely the same, seems like just a few distinctions, so you can compare and contrast them as you'd like

[quote=DrHye]@UltixFighter: I got it in-store, they have a number of locations. I didn't specifically request both sets of discs, it just came with both. But windows 7 was already installed, and I kept it on for reasons mentioned earlier

But yeah, I got it through microcenter. If you live near one, check their locations, pick the best one, go back to that laptop's page and see if it says "in-stock at ____"[/quote]

[quote=DrHye]I haven't had any and I'm on an HP as well. Are HPs known for that or something?

@UltixFighter Mine came with windows 7 pro and windows 8 (discs for each), but windows 8 is basically stupid unless you have a touch screen[/quote]
And you ordered from that specific website right? Because discs would be useful

I'm pretty sure that's the same as the one I posted except the difference is the one I posted had windows 8 and that has windows 7, which I prefer so thank you for the link
