    College laptop!

    Well everyone, its that time. Baller4life is heading off to college. It seemed like the day would never come. I haven't even been on here in a long time. But its nice to be back.

    Here's what I'm looking for:
    3rd gen. i7.
    A HDD that runs at 7200RPM, NOT 5400!
    A 15" screen
    Decent to good graphics card for my occasional gaming.
    Id prefer a back lit keyboard, but not necessary.
    Everything is up in the air.

    So far I have found this:
    MSI Notebook
    My only problem with this one is that I don't know much about MSI. If someone knows whether they make good laptops, if its a good product, or whatever PLEASE let me know.

    My other though is a Sony my friend just got:
    Sony
    A plus is that Sony is having a deal right now that includes a docking station ($180 value) for free, that has a 500GB hard drive you can back up to. I know a little about Sony, ive heard they make good stuff. But again any thoughts or testimonials are appreciated.

    I really want a good laptop that will last me a few years, if not all 4 years of college. And something that I can get back into computer gaming with. I miss Cains, believe it or not
    If anyone knows of any other laptops that will fit my needs, feel free to share them. My price range is $1400 or less. I'm open to anything like what I described above.

    Thanks in advance!

    best advice is to always search at newegg.com, and then compare their price with amazon.com

      I used a Sony for work for a while. It was a good laptop and had few issues. I haven't used any MSI laptops. I have an HP right now, and I really don't like it...

        Hi Baller, it's been awhile. $1400 can get you a lot of laptop if you do your homework. I have been looking around for a decent laptop for about a year, I haven't had the cash or need to pull the trigger yet. I would look at some of the sager models. They can be found at several resellers. I listed two places below and a forum. If you join the form and make a certain number of posts (10 I think) you can get around $50.00 off. Start at that forum then hop back here and let me know what you think.
