General

The inventory on the webstore is sad. Limited availability is a real problem.

@Burning

I've decided to get the laptop at Best Buy I have a $200 gift card so i might as well as or budget im keen on staying within the 600-800 range if i can get something below all the best for me LOL

Battery life: very important
Screen size: 15-17''
Laptop weight: nothing over 5 pounds lol
Lap top use: will use it for school; comes from home to my classes and will be brought back so it'll be pretty much used a lot...i use a lot of the Microsoft programs like literally everything as well as itunes and internet explorer otherwise to that its got used for my blackberry software updates as well....
Games: as for games I honestly only play MS might start with LOL in the summer so it's a possibility
Hard drive: 4-8 GB of ram kinda looking for 8ish

Answer as many questions as you are willing. The information you provide will narrow down the potential computers I look at.

Would you like to save money or do you want to spend as much of your budget as possible?
Can you order online? If you cannot order online, what stores are around you?
How much hard drive space do you want?
What other games do you play or want to play?
What other programs do you use?

Do you have a preferred laptop weight?
Do you have a preferred screen size?
Is battery life important?
Why do you need a laptop? To where and how often will it be moved?

Mention any other special requests you may have. Be detailed.

literally just get a Lenovo Y510. graphics card and good cooling.

lenovo laptops are top notch

@mitarumetaro ummm okay thanks for that...I was actually looking to see what other people had to share about laptops since I don't know much about specs and graphic cards etc, I'm well aware I can get something decent for $800 -_-

@DaGhettoBoy thanks for that info on the toshibas I wasn't actually looking into it but now since you've mentioned the two I will definitely look into them not sure what the pricing is here vs the US pricing but hopefully it isn't that much of a difference xD

If a top criteria graphics card doesn't matter to you and you just want quick processing power and great storage
Toshiba Satellites are the best.
Get this one with an intel i7 dual core (2.4GHz is not bad at all) and make sure it has over 8gb of RAM and a 1TB HDD
i don't trust a full storage SSD and besides SSD is way too expensive.

For maple and school work this Toshiba will never lag during maple... heck since it has an i7 core you can prob run maple, minecraft and watch anime at the same time while using powerpoint.

If you're willing to spend $100 more for a better graphics card and an intel i7 quad core this is a wayyyy better option

any laptop you can buy for $800 will run maple + do schoolwork
