Want a new laptop to buy

Hello guys. I am here today because I want to buy a new laptop, and of course to learn more about computers than just pointing-this, click-that. I already have a decent desktop, but I can't resist getting a new laptop just because.

I am not asking for a gamer's laptop, but I will be playing a small indie game (the website say it recommends 2GB in memory), no dedicated video card is strictly needed, so an on-board chip will suffice. I care less about screen size and ports than I care about internal components. But I don't know what exact components I need to look for.

I am probably looking to do some document work and internet/video browsing other than that.

However, if you talking in longer term, you could consider this with quad core CPU and SSD. But it is $150 over budget...

@Cisco001 beat me to it, but yeah an Acer in your budget range is a good bet! I've had a few Aspires over the years and they were solid machines!
