I need this for a tdy trip to Florida in December and I'll be there for 4 weeks. And other trips in the future. And I'm not gonna pack in my gigantic gaming tower on the trip so I need a laptop to get my fix while I'm on the other side of the country.
As far as what I want I'm leaning towards amd apu CPU's. Newegg has an Acer with an a6 3420m in it for 379.99 and I'm not sure if that will be sufficient for my needs. Now if its not enough new egg also has one with an i5 and a 630m for about $650. (Sorry about no links. I'm going this from my phone at work and I'll edit it when I get home)
I'm trying to keep this cheap as possible. Let me know what you all think and if you have better suggestions please let me know. I plan to buy this in about a month
