HP ENVY dv7t Quad Laptop, Intel® Core⢠i7-3630QM 2.4GHz, Blu-ray Player. It has a 1.0TB hard drive and 16GB of ram.


Answer
For gaming, the graphics card counts a lot. You need the GT 650M version to make it decent at gaming. You don't need 16GB DRAM unless doing video editing.
The 1080p option is an improvement.
It would appear the best config at HP.com is:
Components
⢠Windows 8 64
⢠3rd generation Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor (2.4GHz, 6MB L3 Cache)
⢠Included 2 Year Warranty
⢠NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory
⢠17.3-inch diagonal Full High Definition Anti-glare LED-backlit Display (1920 x 1080)
⢠8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
⢠750GB 5400RPM Hybrid Hard Drive
⢠NO mSSD Hard Drive Acceleration Cache
⢠Microsoft Office Trial
⢠No additional security software
⢠50% off 6 cell + 9 cell Lithium Ion Battery
⢠Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner
⢠Backlit Keyboard
⢠HP TrueVision HD Webcam with integrated dual array digital microphone
⢠Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth(R)
$1,204.99

I don't particularly think HP is a great brand.

Macbooks are incredibly overpriced and not gaming suitable. Ignore them.

Nice Samsung at $1300

Outperforms the $1204 HP by a lot.

This MSI also looks like a nice choice:

Good price on this one:

Now, if you are choosing either the HD 4000 or GT 630 model of HP, find a better value 15.6" with a better graphics card. Lenovo Y500 on sale units at Lenovo.com are pretty good.

What kind of laptop should i get?

I really like the Macbook pro, but they are really expensive. i dont really know that much about laptops or notebooks, but i would want it to be fast, have a built-in web cam, good sound quality, a nice, big screen, and maybe a blu-ray player. if you find any that match most of these things, could you post the weblink in your answer and how much it is? thanks so much!


Answer
You don't need a Pro. Apple lowered the MacBook to $999.00. Here's why you should get a Mac:: There are NO CONS. The MacBook does both WinBloze and OSX, no other computer can make that statement. You have the best of the best. Apple Stores are popping up all over and you can make an appointment for a time and date, bring your computer there. They will troubleshoot it and fix it if it's a software problem it's FREE. What other computer company has stores and can make that statement? Get the 2.4 GHz with 4Gigs Ram and you got a speed machine like mine. The WinBloze people may not like a Mac computer but I'll bet they all have iPods. Go Mac and Never Go Back. Mac, the User Friendly Computer.
If you read the questions here you will notice that most problems are about every computer except a Mac.
