I'm headed to college soon and need a new laptop too. I've been saving up for about 2 months now and I've raised about 425 dollars (Give or take some) for a laptop. I'm looking for a laptop that's not to big but also not that weak. I want the best one I can get for my budget and would appreciate any input. I'm more looking for a general laptop that I can use for whatever I may need to use it on as a Chem major but also want to be able to play some games. I don't play heavy games mostly just like WoW or whatever I may be feeling so it doesn't need to have a super great graphic card but I need a lot of storage and RAM. I'm looking for at least 750GB maybe? And 6BG of RAM would be great but I know for sure it needs an optical drives as I have a lot of DVDs I have and need to be able to use easily. Thank you!
