So I searched for the old threads where people asked for help with buying a computer but I couldn't find them with the search feature. Apparently comp specs is a very common phrase worthy of 42 pages of threads to go through.So anyway my current laptop which I got about 2 years ago is going all kinds of bad and I just recently reformated it and its still slow as balls.

So I'm getting a new laptop and I'm computer spec retarded. I'm also price retarded. I have no qualms spending the money on it if its worth it but I dont wanna buy some high end power machine when something far less will suffice.

The only thing I use my current laptop for is HEM, Poker, IRC, Skype, and my IM client. Oh and I put some movie on to fall asleep to at night. I'm trying to figure out if these specs are good or should I go up or down on something.



any advice would be greatly appreciated =)
