Build Your Own Gaming Notebook
Are there any gaming notebooks, or laptops that are reasonably priced? I'm looking for one $400 or less.?
If not, what is a laptop at that price that would work for my son's gaming?

- you won't find a gaming laptop for $400 unless you stumble across a college student on craigslist that needs to pay a bill fast. Even laptops in the $500 range will only sport an ATI Mobility 4250 graphics card which is low end. Expect $700-900 in store.
- Laptops were never made for gaming. Build your own kick butt desktop then frag till the cows come home...

- Gaming laptops are always much more expensive than a desktop equivalent. Depending on the types of games you would probably need to double that, the biggest problem is most laptops have integrated graphics which are useless for any types of games greater than the Sims type games.
If desktops are not out of the question that would be the way to go. I know most like laptops for their portability but I went through 2 in just a few years, then running into problems that were unfixable and having no warranty. You wont run into those problems on desktops, since if you do have a problem you can pull that part out and replace it. You can also always upgrade them which is a big plus for anyone who wants to play many games
