New laptop

So hai guys.
Since christmas is coming up, i've gotten around 800 bucks to spend soo im thinking of spending it on a new laptop.
I've been searching on newegg, bestbuy, etc and i found some good ones but I'd like to hear any suggestions you guys might have.
It's pretty much just for gaming & some college work.
Thanks

My vote would be for a Windows 7 64-bit with as much RAM as you can. Screen size and other features will determine cost. Just a quick scan of Newegg showed seveal for less than your budget. I bought my wife a Lenovo with Windows 7 32-bit for 4$00 about 6 months ago and it is awesome. if i would have ahd your budget it would scream.

Look for a known brand, such as HP, Lenovo, Dell etc. Support after purchase is important too.

hey
i've been doing the exact same thing, looking to buy a laptop
i will usually be playing some games (mostly CoD), work etc.
and im going for the Dell Inspiron 15R
heres the link:http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15r-combo-mod/pd?oc=fndor24b&model_id=inspiron-15r-combo-mod

it has a good CPU: i3-370M, good graphics card (benchmarks:http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-550v.31270.0.html) and 4GB RAM and 500GB storage

its a good laptop that perfectly fits into your budget

Check out the Toshiba.
