YES BECAUSE YOUR ONE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE MEANS ALL HP COMPUTERS WILL DO THE SAME EXACT THING.
I fucking hate people who say stupid shit like this.
I am no HP fan but what you said was really fucking ignorant.

I've had one of the Gateway FX labtops for over a year now and still runs great with no problems. It's got a 8800 GTS 512 in it and still runs all new games great. One of the selling points for me was that the processor was really easy to get at via access panel. Easy to keep fans and crap clean, and upgrade when I feel the need. This thing has completely replaced my desktop.
Unless the laptop is your only computer in a dorm room, you won't game on it. The keyboard "feels" different because it's smaller, function keys are bundled with other keys, same for the numpad.
Most laptops will play the games from a year ago, UT2K4, Far Cry, Halo. So you don't need top of the line when it comes to graphics.
Unless you're going to hook another keyboard, and mouse to it, gaming on it will be awkward.

Err... and if the laptop is not the only computer in a dorm room, then he's presumably getting it because he wants to... I dunno, go places with it. In which case, he'll probably want to play games on it.
No, they won't.
"Most laptops" have integrated graphics which are utterly useless for any sort of 3D stuff.
Not top of the line, but not "Most laptops", either. You still need pretty damn close to top of the line, particularly with laptop graphics cards which are generally less powerful than their desktop counterparts anyway.
It's pretty simple to throw a mouse into a laptop bag, and the keyboards on most are perfectly useable.
In short, your advice is terrible.
You do realize whom you're talking to, right? If it ain't hoes or rollercoasters, just disregard.
they're 0-2 with me. That's a damning statistical sample, small though it may be. I'm relaying personal experience. It's not my job to conduct customer satisfaction surveys so as never to convey information that is less than entirely accurate.
My post is emphatic because I've been emphatically burned by HP. It is entirely reasonable for me to convey advice based on personal experience and observation.
this ain't CNET bitch. Ride your white pony on back to the castle there.
Yeah, I just think we sometimes need a little reminder of why that's the case every now and then.

I spent $2500 on a laptop once. Never again. These days they are outdated in 6 months.
Par for the course.

NEVER get an HP. They crap out ALL the time, I went through 2 HP laptops & both have some fucked up way of dying that it would cost crazy amount to fix, I got Toshiba now & happy with it
Wow, so many people suggesting laptops who have no clue what a GAMING laptop is.
Sager or XPS(Alienware) bottom line. Pick something in your price range.
If you get an XPS get Complete Care, my M1710 died after a couple years and they gave me the top of the line M1730 (big upgrade from my M1710).
EDIT: BTW buy whatever you get off eBay (and don't fall for the scams... they aren't hard to spot). I bought my original laptop for $1200 when it was selling on the Dell site for $3200. I wouldn't pay Dell or Sager's ridiculous prices.

get an ASUS from newegg. they all come with free 1-year accident protection as well.
A friend of mine told me never to buy an HP desktop as he had only troubles with it. Sounds like its still true.
So anyone know if this T Dubber is a legit notebook salesperson and if he is still in business?

if you buy a laptop strictly for gaming you're a moron
if you buy a laptop to game on and think it will be anywhere near portable you're a moron
if you buy a 17" laptop and still want it to be portable
if you're one of those people who i see sitting by themselves in the food court at school or the mall playing computer games while everyone else in the world is being social then it sucks to be you.
