    Roku 3 vs Desktop PC

    Are Macbooks terrible for gaming?

    Budget Gaming Laptop ($400-$500)

    How is it in comparison to the initial ones you mentioned? I mean I can always get it shipped to a Kinek point and pick it up across the border.

    Budget Gaming Laptop ($400-$500)

    Historically speaking, I have heard quite a bit of negativity surrounding the Acer brand. Any idea on this notion? Also, taxes + S&H, that laptop comes to $681.37.
