Laptop

I have $500-$600, would like a laptop. Just for internet boyah, word docs, occasional photoshop maybe. What do I get. I really would like a long battery life, or have a detachable battery so that I can carry an extra. I've never owned a laptop before.  I was thinking http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ASUS+-+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i5+Processor+/+15.6%22+Display+/+4GB+Memory+/+500GB+Hard+Drive+-+Brown+Suit/2906406.p?id=1218362797990&skuId=2906406&st=ASUS%20A53E-XA2%20&cp=1&lp=1

That seems like a solid laptop. Asus is probably my favorite laptop manufacturer (typing one one right now) and they are statistically the most reliable.

I just helped my sister buy a laptop for around that price. That looks more or less as good as what she got. It's a little cheaper too, so I'd say go with that one.

Seeing as my old Pentium Desktop could run tf2 on the lowest settings I think this will be fine. Not that I plan on playing vidya gamez on it.

Wow that looks like a great price for that level of laptop. Asus is pretty solid quality, top tier with the likes of MSI ect. That should definitely be enough power too.

Agreed, that looks very solid for under $500. See if you can find it on eBay for even less.

It's actually more expensive on Ebay and amazon. I'm going to go pick it up at Best Buy tomorrow, the one on the other side of town has it in stock.
