Help Wanted #02 - Laptop choosings confusion

Rate this Entry
Well, turns out I might be able to exchange the laptop I have, which can't run the high end stuff, for one that can.

Money is a issue, and I do wish I could get what I want (play PC games decently, enjoy PSO2) at the cheapest price possible.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834215661
and
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V3...pr_product_top
are the two that I've been suggested

This is a cheaper one, here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834310630

And I see this off EBAY, but I feel uneasy about this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-A53SD-N...item25789e6942

-----------------

I believe this is the right specs of my computer, the Samsung Series 5 15.6 notebook.

I've been posting here and on PSO-world, asking this question.
I guess I'm getting a little bit of the cold feet of "Should I be returning this and getting something else? Should I just stick with what I know works and not risk getting something else?" I'll probably end up getting that Acer Aspire laptop unless you all suggest one of the other ones.

How well will games like PSO2 run on this computer? Is there any means to upgrade this laptop? Because it was gotten in 2012 and it was meant for my college classes, I might be able to list this as a school expense and get some of the money back.

    I see, I see.

    Also, if I may ask, what about this laptop?

    Think turning to Craigslist is a good idea? a bad idea? (or just a normal buyer beware?)

    Every new computer you post is less capable of playing any of the games you want it to play than the last. Go with the Acer.

    Darples' one is the best followed by the Acer aspire 3

    And I don't recommend Craigslist unless you're going for a macbook

    Worse CPU. Less (and slower) RAM. GPU that is three generations old.

    Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!
