For a $2000 budget, you can really get an awesome laptop. Try shopping around online like at newegg. They are cheaper than most places I know.

They both have a GTX260M, Same video card. Also, the one you puchased, according to reviews, is prone to the gpu overheating.

The one we bought turned out to be defective. soon as i installed halo 2 and shot one bullet it gave me a blue screen and crashed. The sales people convinced me back to a comp. vs. lappy. Should i start a new thread or use my old one?

Dont buy a computer from bestbuy, thats for sure. If you go for a desktop, build it yourself. And that computer wasnt "defective", it was probably the overheating common on that model.

well its old and your situation has prolly changed, start a new one in desktop computers with what your looking for. And those cooling pads dont really work to well tbh.
