I was thinking about using the tablet as a "easier to carry" notebook but it seems that the laptop offers more. Can anyone suggest a brand? (God forbids Apple)
I'm using a Dell XPS 15 myself, but I don't know much about brands seeing as my family has only ever owned three computers - one old CRT monitor PC in the 90s, a terrible 500 MB RAM integrated graphics MSI PC, and a dell inspiron 1720 laptop. We were all sharing the inspiron until I bought mine in February.
If you want a laptop that can play games decently for a reasonable price, I read somewhere the best options were Dell or another brand, I can't remember which though >.>. Maybe Acer or HP.

The computer was a desktop that was 225 obo. I right now have a $400 Compaq Presario CQ62 Laptop, but I want a desktop due to fact it can handle more IMO. Dell and Apple aren't my thing. I could get a brand new Gaming Desktop from MAXIMUMPC magazine for $500. I just wanted to see if I could find a good computer for cheap considering I am only 14 (15 in 4 months) and is without a job. Tablets IMO suck, its just an over-sized iPod, whats the point?
If the computer you put in the OP was $225, that sounds like a pretty damn good price. Then again it's second hand on the internet, which might not be entirely safe and certainly isn't how I like to buy stuff.
I hear the best way to get power for your money is to build a desktop yourself, but that sounds a little complicated for me. Maybe when my laptop becomes old and useless I'll try it.
My laptop was £650 new which is something like $1200 or thereabouts.

I'd personally spend like 800-900$ on a new computer that would be able to max most new games for ~4years.
I've had my current one almost 5 years now I think and it can still preform good in most games.

I thought you used euros, not dollars? Damn crazy europeans.

So I should just sell my laptop for $300, my Ps3 for $300, and then buy a brand new Desktop?
Nah, just save up some money and buy a new comp in a year or 2. Unless you feel it's needed like right now.
Selling stuff is rarely worth it.
