Which one should I get?

[vegastar]

These are both gateways. I'm going to college in the fall and only have 1000 dollars and some change to spend. I'm supposed to use it for school work but I'm all about WoW and CoD4 + CSS.

So I'm thinking about one of these two.

Gateway Official Site: Store - M-152XL Garnet Red, Notebooks, Product Details

Without all the extra stuff on it (Microsoft student, Norton, 3 yr. premium) it comes out to be 1018.00 with shipping.

Newegg.com - Gateway M-6851 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T5550(1.83GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 667 250GB HDD 5400rpm Dual layer DVD Burner ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 - Laptops / Notebooks

This comes out to be around the same price.

Which should I get? Or if you know of any other good laptops that would be nice to have peoples input that know what they're talking about, unlike myself.

Thanks

Either could play those games easily. The cheaper newegg one had a review that said it played CS:S at 160fps and call of duty 4. Personally I'd get the one from newegg. It is cheaper, has a bigger HD, and has an only slightly lesser proc.

LOL, don't hurt me

I do not like those colors!

Are you staying in a dorm? Why not a desktop?

Root is right...desktop gaming computers are vastly superior in performance to price ratio. You can get a beast of a gaming desktop for under $1000.
