Answer 2

Best bet is to try your luck on Ebay. You can get the best laptop for your money there though you run the risk of not getting what you bought.

I've seen E-Machines run games pretty well. They are not the best computer at all, probably the lowest end high end laptop... which is what your looking for I think. My Uncle plays Guild Wars on his which is very graphics oriented game.

The high end high end of Gaming Laptops are Alianware, next in line I think would be a Dell XPS model... Make sure it's an XPS model not a Lattitude or Inspiron.

I dont own a mac or know anyone that owns a mac but I doubt heavily they are any good at all at gaming, or possibly capable of gaming. WinXP Home, Pro or Media Edition should be the best.

Answer 3

I do not understand why people say very few games are available for Macs... Let us have a talk brother. You need to talk with me, for I know what I am talking about.

What you need is a Macbook Pro. It is NOT expensive... You won't find a regular laptop with windows that has 2.4GHz CPU. 2GB of RAM and a powerful GPU by NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 256MB SDRAM for $2,499. No, you will not find that.

Mac lacks nothing. If there are games that Mac OSX doesn't support, your Mac will still play them. How? All you need to do is install windows on your Mac. Your Mac is compatibile with every thing. Not only your Mac is compatible with everything, it does everything you need. Most of all, it allows you to have best of both world, Windows and Mac.

Honestly, why do people buy windows laptop where they can install windows on a durable Mac machine? Mac parts are durable and life worthy. A mac will lasts 5 more years than a regular cheap based windows system. Get a Mac and never look back.

Answer 4

If you're a gamer you should stick with Windows because Windows supports most games and Macs only support a very small amount as of right now. There are plenty of options but most of the cheaper laptops have integrated graphics which aren't great for gaming. I'd need to know what specific price range you were looking for and then I could recommend something for you.

Answer 5

If ur on a funds a pc is a far extra powerful prospect, and could be completed two times as useful for a million/2 the cost.
