Cameron: My current laptop (a Toshiba) has been great to me over the past 4+ years, but it's time for a new one. Problem is, I haven't kept up to date with hardware etc, and I now play most new games on my 360. That being said, I am looking to buy a laptop that will allow me to play new games and continue to do so for the next 3-4 years. I use my laptop for school every day, and while I realize a desktop is more economical it really doesn't fit my lifestyle right now. I recently came upon this sale from Toshiba, and think this might be a good way to go, but please, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I can get that laptop from Toshiba for 840 bucks, + whatever they charge for shipping. That is pretty much at the top of my budget, I'd like to be under 900. So here are my questions

1) Is this a good laptop?
2) Is this a good price?
3) Can anyone recommend a better/cheaper model?

Thanks in advance for your help!!
