if it's your money he can't really control it can he?


that's what i pulled on my mom to be able to buy half the shit i do.


otherwise i'd never have been able to order a sub/amp, build a box, and even think about upgrading stuff on my truck.

If its for college a laptop is a lot more useful than a desktop in the sense of portability. If its a year old it will obviously work fine for word processing, e-mail, web browsing, etc. My laptop is almost 2 years old, bought it October 2007 (after graduating BMT) and it still does everything I need it to, not good for gaming though. If you don't load a whole lot of junk onto the laptop it should remain pretty quick (I'm dual booting Vista/Windows 7 beta, Vista has all the junk, and Windows 7 I keep clean and use whenever I just need to use the internet, it's quick).

I used to be into PC gaming but the problem with it is the technology changes to fast and you are constantly spending money upgrading your computer trying to keep up. In terms of money it will make a lot more sense to just get a small LCD TV (20" maybe) and a Xbox 360 or PS3. You won't have to upgrade them anytime soon and the cost of entry is a lot less. I was thinking of the same thing you are and the Xbox land up making a lot more sense in terms of money. The only game that I can think of that is widely popular and exclusive to PC is WoW, and I was never able to get into it. Just my opinion.

Dude, you can either buy mine, or I can build you a better one cheaper than what the ones in your original post are costing.
