    Looking for a well rounded budget laptop for school

    Maziar, Glad you think so, unfortunately I failed to check Newegg before buying it at Best Buy it was 150 dollars cheaper, I mean it added up when I bought a case and the warranty which I couldn't find a price for online to get extended ones, but its a little late now. Then again I wouldn't have...
