choosing for the future

[Juan Querendon]

I'm choosing a new laptop that I want to se for a few years (4 or 5) my budget its around 1000usd. (link)
I like its blue ray because games like the new crisis are coming on blue ray, and also it comes with and hdmi output.
I would like to play games like gears of war, cod4, fifa 09, at medium graphics.
is it a good decision?

It'll be really difficult to buy a laptop for $1,000 that will last 4 or 5 years. That may last you 2 years, if that.

well but is it ok for its price?, its hard to find a laptop with all that and also a blue ray player for that price, do you recomend me to w8 more until they release a new technology, I have been w8ting like 3 months for the release of a new intel procesor, but i need a laptop and I want to know if this one its ok?

You probably will be able to play those games on low. I would be surprised if you can even play crysis on it. I believe the 9200 is integrated graphics so that doesn't help anything. Laptops don't last 4 or 5 years, I wouldn't even want a desktop for that long.

ok thank you, do you recommend me any other laptop, I choose this one for the blue ray player, because a lot of new software its coming on blue ray discs.

To get a laptop with a decent cpu, gpu and memory with blue ray (plus you will want a blue ray drive that will do DVD and CD and those are more expensive) will be pretty hard for 1k considering you will want to run those games on there. The best I could find for you was for 1200 from hp.
